Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) fresh baby bella or cremini mushrooms, thoroughly cleaned and stems trimmed

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for enhanced flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large mixing bowl, add the cleaned mushrooms along with the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Using a spatula or your hands, gently toss the mixture to ensure each mushroom is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Roast the Mushrooms: Spread the coated mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and develop flavor.

        Add Parmesan: After the initial roasting time, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms for a delicious cheesy topping. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, and the cheese has melted and formed a bubbly crust.

          Garnish: Once the mushrooms are cooked to perfection, take the baking sheet out of the oven. For an added burst of flavor, lightly drizzle the lemon juice over the hot mushrooms (if using). Finish by sprinkling the chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.

            Serve: Enjoy these savory Garlic Parmesan Roasted Mushrooms warm, perfect as a delectable side dish, an enticing appetizer, or a flavorful topping for pizzas and salads!
