Ingredients
- 1 pound 450g fresh mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven & Prep the Tray
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Clean the Mushrooms
- Gently clean the portobello (or button/cremini) mushrooms using a damp paper towel or soft brush to remove any dirt. Trim the ends if needed. Avoid rinsing them under water—they absorb moisture easily and may become soggy when roasted.
Prepare the Marinade
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, and minced garlic until smooth and well blended. The marinade should look glossy and slightly syrupy.
Marinate the Mushrooms
- Add the cleaned mushrooms to the bowl and toss gently to ensure they’re thoroughly coated in the soy-honey mixture. Let them sit for a minute or two to absorb flavor.
Arrange for Roasting
- Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, stem-side up or down—your choice. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to allow proper caramelization.
Season & Roast
- Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, then place the baking sheet in the oven. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the mushrooms are tender, glossy, and golden around the edges.
Garnish & Serve
- Once roasted, remove from the oven and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped fresh parsley, if using. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or topping for toast, bowls, salads, or grains.
