Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills for a smoother flavor profile, if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, thyme leaves, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up. Brush the olive oil mixture generously over each cap, ensuring the inside and outer edges are well coated.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the gill-side of the mushroom caps once brushed with the marinade.
Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until they are tender and have released their juices. The edges should be slightly crisp and caramelized.
Remove the mushroom caps from the oven and let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. This helps them retain their juices and enhances the flavor.
Serve the roasted portabella caps warm as a side dish, burger alternative, or on top of salads. Enjoy!
