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 & Aromatics
- 8 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cloves garlic
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and allow it to fully preheat. This ensures the mushrooms will roast evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare the mushrooms: Thoroughly wash all mushrooms by rubbing them gently to remove any dirt. Drain well using a colander, then thinly slice each variety for even cooking.
- Arrange mushrooms on baking sheet: Lay the sliced mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the mushrooms, then sprinkle with black pepper and salt to season.
- Initial roast and flip: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. After this, drain off any excess liquid that may have accumulated, then use a fork to carefully flip each mushroom slice for even browning.
- Continue roasting: Roast the mushrooms for an additional 20 minutes, or until they are evenly golden brown. If necessary, add a bit more olive oil or extend roasting time slightly to achieve desired crispiness.
- Add garlic and thyme: When the mushrooms are about 5 minutes away from being perfectly browned, sprinkle over the thinly sliced garlic cloves and fresh thyme sprigs. Roast for the final 5 minutes to infuse flavors and crisp the garlic.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the mushrooms from the oven and garnish with additional fresh garlic slices and thyme if desired. Serve hot to enjoy their crispy texture and rich flavors.
Notes
- The key to crispy roasted mushrooms is slicing them thinly and roasting them in a single layer to avoid steaming.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- This recipe yields approximately 1.5 cups of crispy roasted mushrooms, making it a perfect side for 6 servings.
- Adjust roasting time or add extra olive oil if mushrooms are not crispy enough after suggested cooking time.
