Ingredients for Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms
Here’s everything you’ll need to make these irresistible mushrooms – and I promise, it’s nothing complicated! The beauty of this recipe is in its simplicity:
- 1 pound mushrooms (cremini or button work great), cleaned and halved
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted (real butter makes all the difference!)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best – no jarred stuff here)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
That’s it! Six simple ingredients transform into something extraordinary. I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon at the end if I’m feeling fancy, but honestly, they’re perfect just like this.
How to Make Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms
Okay, let’s get these beauties in the oven! I promise it’s easier than you think – just follow these simple steps and you’ll have golden, garlicky mushrooms in no time. The key is letting the oven work its magic while you relax with a glass of wine (or, you know, wrangle kids – I’ve been there too).
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
First things first – crank that oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s nice and hot when your mushrooms are ready. While it heats, melt your butter (I just zap it in the microwave for 30 seconds) and mince that garlic fresh – trust me, the flavor difference is worth the extra minute of chopping!
Step 2: Coat the Mushrooms
Now the fun part! In a big bowl, whisk together your melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until it smells heavenly. Toss in those halved mushrooms and give them a good stir until every single one is glistening with garlic butter goodness. Spread them out in a single layer on your baking sheet – don’t crowd them or they’ll steam instead of roast!
Step 3: Roast to Perfection
Pop them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, giving them a quick stir halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden brown and smell irresistible. The edges get slightly crispy while the centers stay juicy – absolute perfection! Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley right before serving for that pop of color and freshness.
