Roasted Mushrooms
I adore mushrooms! They are so earthy and flavorful. And these Roasted Mushrooms are amazing! The savory onions, the hint of spicy kick, the full flavored soy sauce and balsamic, all mingle together on your tongue to tell you these are not just boring normal mushrooms, these are something special!
These Roasted Mushrooms would be fabulous as a simple side dish for a holiday dinner. Eat them over a steak or a baked potato. Put them in a sandwich. I’ll have an appetizer recipe for you soon using these mushrooms!
Hee hee, even my husband looked at these and said they looked amazing. I think his actual words were something like, “for people who like mushrooms, those look delicious!” Pretty high praise coming from him about the lowly fungus.
Any mushrooms will work. I had just gotten back from the Asian market so I picked up some fancy mushrooms, Shitake and Bunashimeji (Beech mushrooms) specifically. But any will work; I love Italian mushrooms, baby bellas, brown mushrooms, even white buttons.
If you’d like your mushrooms to have a little spicy kick, leave the cayenne pepper in. If you prefer mushrooms that don’t bite back, leave the cayenne pepper out.
Easy to make: just place the chopped mushrooms and all marinade ingredients into a bag. I like to fold over the top edge of the bag to make it easier to get everything into the bag. And, I place the bag standing up inside a bowl so that it’s easy to work with.
After filling the bag, just zip up the top and shake to combine. Here are the mushrooms after shaking. The whole thing just gets placed in the fridge to marinate. If you’re short on fridge space you can take the bag out of the bowl and tuck it into a small spot in the fridge.
The mushrooms have marinated for 30 minutes and I’ve spread them out on a baking sheet ready to pop in the oven.
These are the mushrooms after roasting and still on the baking tray

I’m not usually a fan of mushrooms on their own, but this actually looks REALLY good. I would totally eat a heaping side dish of these! I love the combo of the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and I would definitely keep that cayenne. Yum!
