Ingredients

Units Scale

Roasted Mushrooms:

  • 700g small whole white mushrooms or halved larger ones
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 garlic cloves with skin on, smashed

Balsamic Marinade:

  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (375°F), or 180°C if using a fan-forced oven, to prepare for roasting the mushrooms.
  2. Season Mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a roasting pan in a single layer. Toss them first with olive oil, then add salt, pepper, thyme, minced garlic, and smashed garlic cloves. Toss again to evenly coat the mushrooms with seasoning.
  3. Roast Mushrooms: Roast the mushrooms for 35 minutes, tossing them well at the 20-minute mark to ensure even cooking and browning until they are soft and golden.
  4. Prepare Marinade: While the mushrooms are hot, transfer them along with all their cooking juices into a bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then toss thoroughly to combine.
  5. Marinate: Allow the mushrooms to cool and marinate uncovered at room temperature for 2 hours, tossing once or twice during this time. For deeper flavor, cover and refrigerate them overnight once cooled.
  6. Serve: Serve the marinated mushrooms at room temperature or slightly warmed for the best flavor. Use the flavorful juices as a dressing or sauce.

Notes

  • Use a roasting pan instead of a tray for easier tossing during cooking.
  • Mushrooms shrink significantly while roasting, so spread them in a single layer but snugly.
  • Smashed garlic cloves with skins add gentle garlic aroma without overwhelming the dish.
  • The marinade can be adjusted, adding more balsamic vinegar or olive oil to taste.
  • These mushrooms pair beautifully with toast topped with soft cheese, creamy risotto, or as part of a grazing board.
