Ingredients You’ll Need

• 16 oz (about 450g) whole button or cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons honey
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Necessary Tools for Preparation

• Large mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (optional for easier cleanup)
• Small whisk or fork
• Serving platter

Possible Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Add a spicy kick: A pinch of red pepper flakes works wonders.

Switch up the herbs: Rosemary or oregano also pair beautifully.

Go vegan: Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave nectar.

Boost umami: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar before roasting for deeper flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Make Honey and Garlic Roasted Mushrooms

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper if you like easier cleanup.
2. Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Trim the stems if needed, but keep them whole for the best texture.
3. Make the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Toss the mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss well to coat them in the sauce.
5. Arrange and roast: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are golden brown and caramelized.
6. Serve hot: Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately!

The roasted garlic and sticky glaze are seriously irresistible — I’m kicking myself for not having shot it bubbling fresh out of the oven!!

What to Serve With These Roasted Mushrooms

Tips for Making the Best Honey and Garlic Roasted Mushrooms

Don’t overcrowd the pan! Give the mushrooms space to roast instead of steaming.

Use similar-sized mushrooms so they cook evenly.

Adjust seasoning at the end: A final sprinkle of sea salt can elevate everything.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to regain that delicious caramelized texture — the microwave just doesn’t do them justice!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use different types of mushrooms?

Absolutely! Try this with shiitake, portobello chunks, or even oyster mushrooms for different textures and flavors.

Can I make this ahead of time?

These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the sauce and mushrooms earlier in the day, then roast right before serving.

What’s the best way to clean mushrooms?

Skip washing them under water — they’ll soak it up and get soggy. Instead, wipe them clean with a damp paper towel.
