Ingredients

• 4 pieces Portabella mushroom caps
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Clean the portabella mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills for a smoother flavor profile, if desired.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, thyme leaves, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the mushroom caps on the prepared baking sheet, gill-side up. Brush the olive oil mixture generously over each cap, ensuring the inside and outer edges are well coated.

Step 5

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the gill-side of the mushroom caps once brushed with the marinade.

Step 6

Roast the mushrooms in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until they are tender and have released their juices. The edges should be slightly crisp and caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the mushroom caps from the oven and let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. This helps them retain their juices and enhances the flavor.

Step 8

Serve the roasted portabella caps warm as a side dish, burger alternative, or on top of salads. Enjoy!
