How to Roast Mushrooms in the Oven

Mushrooms are one of our favorite ingredients. They are delicious, nutritious and with the help of a hot oven, they are simple to cook. For a stove-top recipe, here’s our no-fail method for cooking mushrooms on the stove.

To make the ultimate batch of roasted mushrooms, we roast them in a pretty hot oven. By roasting at 400 degrees Farenheit for about 35 minutes, they intensify in flavor and turn golden brown.

Our method works for all types of mushrooms. In our photos, we used baby bella (or cremini) mushrooms. Larger mushrooms like portobello or more exotic mushrooms like king oyster mushrooms all work. For another roasted mushroom recipe, check out our roasted portobello mushrooms with eggs.

For extra flavor, we roast the mushrooms with fresh herbs, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. When roasting mushrooms, we’re looking for them to turn brown and caramelized in spots. Since garlic can overcook, we give the mushrooms a head start in the oven before adding it.

Here’s How We Do It

To start, toss mushrooms with olive oil and fresh herbs. We love bay leaves and thyme. Spread everything out onto a baking sheet then roast in the oven until they are starting to brown.

After 25 minutes, take the mushrooms out of the oven and stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper. After another 10 minutes, the mushrooms will be beautifully roasted and the garlic toasted.

By the way, we add the salt towards the end. Salt brings out moisture, which in the case of mushrooms, can cause them to steam. This could prevent them from browning in the oven. By adding the salt later on in the cooking process, they become golden brown and well seasoned.
