Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel or quickly rinsing them and then patting dry. Cut off any tough stems.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. Coarsely chop the fresh parsley and thyme.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cleaned mushrooms, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the mushroom mixture, ensuring to catch any seeds. Add the black pepper and sea salt.
Toss everything together until the mushrooms are well coated with the herb and garlic mixture.
Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Bake the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, remove them from the oven.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm as a heart-healthy side or appetizer.
