Garlic Roasted Mushrooms with Herb Butter

I am always looking for side dishes that are delicious but simple to prepare. This roasted mushroom dish is exactly that. It is so easy yet amazingly satisfying that it can easily replace your entree as well. The mushrooms are cleaned, and tossed wth a garlicky and herb infused butter. the mushrooms are roasted at high heat until golden brown. Brighten the flavor with an additional squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs. The roasting turns them into mouth watering “filet-like” bites. These are so incredibly good, you may skip the turkey or main course. Give this recipe a try- it is sure to become a new staple at your holiday table.

Enjoy!

Chef’s notes- I grow my own herbs and use whatever I have in the garden. For this dish, I used rosemary, thyme, lemon thyme and flat leaf parsley- probably any fresh herbs will work- maybe not cilantro.

I started the mushrooms stem side down and then flipped halfway through the roasting process for even baking.

Don’t skip the lemon juice at the end- it really brightens the flavor.

If you make ahead, chill mushrooms and re-heat in a pan. They may give off a lot of extra water than will need to cook off.
