Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms cremini, button, or portobello, cleaned
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, toss mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until mushrooms are golden and tender.
  • While mushrooms roast, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty (about 4–5 minutes).
  • Add chopped garlic and thyme to the browned butter and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Once mushrooms are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle the browned butter garlic thyme sauce over the top.
  • Finish with a splash of lemon juice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Don’t wash mushrooms under water — wipe them clean with a damp cloth to avoid sogginess.
  • Make it vegan with plant-based butter.
  • Add red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for extra richness.
  • Use leftovers in sandwiches, pasta, or as a pizza topping.
