Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 400 grams chestnut mushrooms (about 1 lb)
- 200 grams shiitake mushrooms (about 1/2 lb)
- 200 grams oyster mushrooms (about 1/2 lb)
Seasonings
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cloves garlic
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the mushrooms evenly and crisply.
- Prepare Mushrooms: Thoroughly wash and gently rub the mushrooms to remove any dirt. Drain them well in a colander then slice them thinly to maximize crispiness during roasting.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the mushroom slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over them, then sprinkle with black pepper and salt to season.
- Initial Roast: Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. If necessary, drain any excess liquid released by the mushrooms and carefully flip each slice over using a fork for even cooking.
- Final Roast: Continue roasting for another 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are evenly golden brown. Add more olive oil or extend the roasting time slightly if they need extra crispiness.
- Add Garlic & Thyme: About 5 minutes before the mushrooms are done, sprinkle over sliced garlic cloves and fresh thyme sprigs. Roast for the remaining 5 minutes until the mushrooms are perfectly crispy and aromatic.
- Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with additional fresh garlic slices and thyme if desired. Best enjoyed hot as a savory side dish or a flavorful topping.
Notes
- Using thinly sliced mushrooms ensures they become crispy rather than soggy.
- Flipping mushrooms halfway through roasting prevents burning and promotes even browning.
- Adjust roasting times slightly depending on your oven’s heat and mushroom thickness for perfect crispiness.
- This recipe yields about 1.5 cups of crispy roasted mushrooms, serving approximately 6 people as a side.
- Fresh thyme and garlic added near the end of roasting bring out fragrant, complementary flavors.
