Ingredients:
- 16 equal-sized mushrooms, stems trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the mushrooms cap-side down for 20 seconds until lightly browned. This step enhances their flavor and texture.
Step 2: Arrange the seared mushrooms in a shallow baking dish with stems facing up. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, lemon juice, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 3: Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each mushroom. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crispy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve these roasted garlic mushrooms as a delectable side dish alongside grilled steak, roasted chicken, or a hearty vegetable medley. They’re also perfect as a savory appetizer for your next dinner party. Enjoy the rich, earthy flavors and aromatic garlic butter that make this dish irresistible!
