Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms:
Begin by washing the mushrooms thoroughly. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Next, cut the mushrooms into quarters (or keep them whole if they are smaller). Slice the cherry tomatoes in half for a burst of color and tangy flavor. -
Season the Mushrooms:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. Add in the dried rosemary, dried oregano, red chili flakes, and salt. Sprinkle the freshly crushed black pepper to taste. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss the mixture well to evenly coat the vegetables with the spices. -
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and let it warm up for about 10 minutes while you prepare the tray. -
Prepare the Baking Tray:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the mushrooms from sticking. Spread the mushroom mixture in a single layer on the tray, ensuring that there’s some space between each piece for even roasting. Avoid overcrowding the tray—this allows the mushrooms to roast properly, giving them a beautiful color and texture. -
Roast the Mushrooms:
Place the baking tray into the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes. Check the mushrooms after 10 minutes and keep roasting them until they turn a deep, golden brown, with a slightly crispy texture at the edges. If you prefer your mushrooms to have a darker, almost charred appearance, you can extend the roasting time slightly. -
Rest and Garnish:
Once roasted to perfection, remove the tray from the oven and allow the mushrooms to rest for a few minutes. This helps them retain their juices and intensifies the flavors. Sprinkle finely chopped coriander leaves over the mushrooms and give everything a gentle toss to combine. -
Serve:
Transfer the Roasted Mushroom mix onto a serving plate. This flavorful dish can be enjoyed on its own as a side snack or served alongside your main meal. For a refreshing twist, drizzle a bit of lemon juice over the top before serving. For the perfect pairing, enjoy these roasted mushrooms with a side of garlic bread and a refreshing Strawberry Lemonade.
Tips for the Perfect Roasted Mushrooms
- Mushroom Type: Button mushrooms work best for this recipe, but you can substitute them with cremini or portobello mushrooms for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Spacing on the Tray: Don’t overcrowd the mushrooms on the tray, as they need space to roast evenly. Overcrowding can result in steaming rather than roasting.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme or basil for a unique twist.
- Serving Suggestions: These mushrooms make a fantastic accompaniment to any pasta dish, grilled vegetables, or even as a topping for pizzas.
