How to Make Savory Herb-Roasted Mushrooms

1. Preheat the Oven

Adjust your oven rack to the center position and preheat it to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even roasting for all the mushrooms.

2. Season the Mushrooms

In a large bowl, toss the quartered mushrooms with the extra-virgin olive oil until they are evenly coated. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Make sure every mushroom piece gets a good coating of oil and seasoning, as this will enhance their flavor during roasting.

3. Prepare for Roasting

Take a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer. Scatter the thyme or rosemary sprigs over the mushrooms. These herbs will infuse the mushrooms with a lovely, aromatic flavor as they roast.

4. Roast and Drain

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the mushrooms for about 15 minutes. You’ll notice the mushrooms release some of their liquid. Carefully drain this liquid into a separate container and set it aside. Draining the liquid at this stage concentrates the mushroom flavor, making them more delicious.

5. Finish Roasting

Return the mushrooms to the oven and continue roasting for about 30 more minutes, or until they are nicely browned but still tender. This step will develop a deep, savory flavor and a beautiful caramelization on the mushrooms.

6. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve

Once they are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and discard the thyme or rosemary sprigs. Transfer the roasted mushrooms to a serving bowl. Finish by tossing them with the chopped fresh herbs of your choice, like parsley, chives, or tarragon. Serve the savory herb-roasted mushrooms immediately while they are still warm and fragrant.
