Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces small 2" diameter portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup freshly grated parmigiano cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped, plus extra for garnish
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Clean the mushroom caps by removing any visible dirt with a damp paper towel, then remove the stems. Discard stems, or use them in a soup or stir-fry.
- Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and herbs together in a small bowl.
- Arrange the mushroom caps in a deep baking dish or rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the top of the mushrooms, making sure to coat evenly. Sprinkle the parmigiano cheese over the top.
- Roast at 425℉ for 10-15 minutes, or until the desired doneness is achieved.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
- Clean the mushrooms gently before roasting. Use a damp paper towel or soft brush to remove dirt instead of soaking them in water, which can make mushrooms watery and prevent them from roasting properly.
- Choose portobello caps that are similar in size. Evenly sized mushrooms will cook at the same rate and ensure each bite has the perfect tender texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking pan. Leaving space between the mushrooms allows them to roast properly instead of steaming.
