Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them in water as they can absorb moisture.
Cut off the tough ends of the mushroom stems and keep the mushrooms whole for best flavor retention.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the whole mushrooms to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the herb mixture.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the coated mushrooms in a single layer on the tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through cooking for even baking.
Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven, and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack, garnished with a little extra fresh parsley if desired.
