These Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms are a flavorful and easy side dish featuring tender cremini mushrooms roasted to perfection with a tangy balsamic vinegar marinade, garlic, and herbs. Perfect to complement any meal or add a savory touch to salads and rice dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 1 pound (450g) cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and halved

Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel or a soft brush to remove dirt. If they are large, cut them in half for even cooking. Smaller mushrooms can be left whole.
  3. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. This mixture will infuse the mushrooms with deep flavor.
  4. Coat the Mushrooms: Add the cleaned mushrooms to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  5. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the mushrooms evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid crowding them to allow proper caramelization.
  6. Roast the Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The mushrooms should become tender, slightly shriveled, and deep brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the mushrooms from the oven and sprinkle them with fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish, over rice, or tossed into salads.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best taste and texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional; omit them if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • If using fresh thyme, increase quantity accordingly as it’s less potent than dried thyme.
  • These mushrooms can be served warm or at room temperature and store well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
