Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
Sauce
- 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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms by wiping them gently with a damp paper towel and trim the stems slightly to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting for your preference.
- Coat Mushrooms: Place the cleaned mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and thoroughly coat them with the prepared honey garlic sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the coated mushrooms out in a single layer on the sheet to prevent overcrowding, which allows even roasting.
- Roast Mushrooms: Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Stir them halfway through cooking to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Serve: When the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, remove from the oven. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm mushrooms for best results.
- Adjust the amount of honey depending on your sweetness preference.
- Mushrooms can be rotated with a spatula halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish alongside grilled meats or salads.
