Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean the mushrooms under running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary to remove any tough bits.
Mince the garlic cloves finely, chop the parsley, thyme, and rosemary, and set them aside.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, lemon juice, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Stir well to make sure the mixture is evenly mixed.
Add the cleaned mushrooms to the bowl and toss them in the herb and garlic mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Stir the mushrooms halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the herb and garlic baked mushrooms warm as a side dish or appetizer, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
