HOW TO MAKE Balsamic Soy Roasted Garlic Mushrooms:

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Stir the mixture well to ensure the flavors are blended.
Toss the Mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them in the balsamic soy mixture, making sure each mushroom is thoroughly coated.
Roast the Mushrooms: Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The mushrooms should become tender, golden brown, and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Garnish and Serve: Once the mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.

HELPFUL TIPS:

Choose Your Mushrooms: While button mushrooms are commonly used, feel free to use a mix of cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms for added depth of flavor.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting and browning.
Add Extra Herbs: Enhance the flavor by adding a sprinkle of thyme, rosemary, or oregano before roasting.
Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic will offer a stronger, more vibrant flavor than pre-minced varieties.
