Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure your mushrooms are clean by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt without soaking them.
- Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful honey-garlic sauce.
- Coat Mushrooms: Toss the cleaned mushrooms thoroughly in the prepared sauce until each mushroom is evenly coated with the glaze.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated mushrooms out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- Roast Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure all sides brown evenly. The sauce will thicken and create a sticky, caramelized glaze on the mushrooms.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a savory side or appetizer.
Notes
- Wiping mushrooms instead of washing helps them retain their texture and prevents sogginess.
- Use cremini mushrooms for a richer flavor or button mushrooms for a milder taste.
- Stirring halfway through roasting helps achieve even caramelization on all mushrooms.
- Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a bright color and fresh flavor contrast.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference, especially if your soy sauce is very salty.
