Ingredients
Scale
Mushroom and Sauce Ingredients
- 1 lb cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 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
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel; avoid rinsing with water to prevent sogginess.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful honey-garlic sauce.
- Coat Mushrooms: Toss the cleaned mushrooms in the honey-garlic sauce until each mushroom is well coated with the mixture.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even caramelization and glaze development.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the oven once caramelized and sticky. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Wiping mushrooms instead of rinsing helps maintain their texture and prevents them from getting soggy.
- Stirring halfway through roasting ensures even cooking and glaze coating.
- You can substitute cremini mushrooms with button mushrooms based on availability.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
