Ingredients
1 pound mushrooms (button, cremini, or your choice), cleaned
1 tablespoon oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Browned Butter Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss mushrooms with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until mushrooms are golden and caramelized.
While mushrooms roast, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 3–4 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in garlic, thyme, and lemon juice.
Toss roasted mushrooms in the browned butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Use a mix of mushroom varieties for deeper flavor.
Watch the butter closely while browning—it can go from golden to burnt quickly.
This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta, or as a topping for toast.
