Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them directly under water to prevent them from soaking up moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cleaned mushrooms, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the mushrooms gently until they are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown. Stir them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the tray from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for added flavor.
Serve immediately as a low-carb side dish or a savory topping for salads.
