Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 ounces portabella or shiitake mushrooms cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, liquid smoke, paprika, and black pepper. Add the mushrooms and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place the mushrooms and marinade in a ziptop bag. Let the mushrooms marinate at least 30 minutes in the fridge or up to 24 hours. The longer you let the mushrooms marinate, the more flavor they will have.1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup, ½ teaspoon liquid smoke, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, 4 ounces portabella or shiitake mushrooms
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Drain any excess marinade from the mushrooms, and spread them in a single layer on the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms look dark and the edges are crisp. Let cool for 10 minutes. As the mushrooms cool, they will become crispier.
