Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) fresh mushrooms (any combination of button, cremini, or shiitake)

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms using a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim off any tough stems, and slice them into halves or quarters based on their size for even cooking.

      Combine the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well blended.

        Coat the Mushrooms: Add the cleaned and sliced mushrooms to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the mushrooms gently until they are fully coated in the flavorful mixture. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

          Prepare for Roasting: Spread the marinated mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking during roasting.

            Roast the Mushrooms: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Stir the mushrooms halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a beautiful golden brown color.

              Add the Finishing Touch: Once roasted to perfection, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color.

                Serve Warm: Enjoy your fragrant and tasty Garlic Herb Roasted Mushrooms warm, either as a side dish, an appetizer, or served atop a bed of creamy polenta or pasta for a complete meal.
