Ingredients:
- 16 even-sized open cup mushrooms, stalks trimmed
- 3 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and 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 pan, heat the olive or coconut oil over medium-high heat. Gently sear the mushrooms cap-side down for 20 seconds to release their earthy flavor.
Step 2: Place the mushrooms stalk-side up in a shallow baking dish. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Step 3: Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each mushroom. Sprinkle fresh breadcrumbs on top for a golden, crispy finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the breadcrumbs are toasted.
Serve these roasted garlic mushrooms as a delectable side dish or appetizer. Perfect for any occasion, they’re packed with savory flavors and a delightful texture. Enjoy!
