Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450g) fresh whole mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your mushrooms roast evenly and get that lovely golden color.
  2. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms using a damp cloth to remove any dirt. If the stems are long, trim them slightly. You can leave the mushrooms whole or cut them in half for a different texture. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are well mixed and the honey is fully dissolved.
  4. Coat the Mushrooms: Add the cleaned mushrooms into the bowl with the sauce. Toss them gently until they are thoroughly coated, ensuring each mushroom has absorbed the mixture. Be careful not to break them apart during this process.
  5. Roast the Mushrooms: Spread the coated mushrooms on a baking sheet in a single layer. Pop them in the preheated oven and roast for about 20 minutes. Halfway through, give them a gentle toss to ensure even cooking. They should be tender and slightly caramelized when done — watch for that golden-brown color!

Nutrition

Keywords: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to allow the mushrooms to roast properly. Fresh garlic adds more flavor, and you can adjust the soy sauce for a stronger umami taste. For a vegan option, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
