Equipment
- Oven
- Grater
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 12 oz cremini or white mushrooms stem trimmed
- 1/2 stick butter melted
- 4 cloves garlic pureed or finely minced
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon Kraft Grated Parmesan cheese in a bottle
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is perfect for roasting and helps to achieve that golden-brown finish on your mushrooms.
- Clean the mushrooms by wiping their surfaces with paper towels. Avoid washing them with water, as this can lead to a watery texture when roasted.
- In a bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, bottled Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix well until combined.
- Toss the mushrooms in the mixture until they are evenly coated. Make sure each piece is generously covered, as this will help them roast beautifully.
- Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will allow them to roast evenly, ensuring they develop a nice caramelized exterior.
- Roast the mushrooms for 12 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, sprinkle the remaining fresh Parmesan cheese on top. This will create a delightful cheesy crust as they finish roasting.
- After 12 minutes, remove from the oven. The mushrooms should be golden and tender. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Notes
- Don’t Wash the Mushrooms: The mushrooms should be cleaned with a dry cloth or paper towel, as washing them can lead to excess moisture. This will result in them not roasting properly.
- Even Sizing: Try to use mushrooms that are similar in size for even cooking. This ensures that all pieces will finish roasting at the same time.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They can maintain their taste for up to three days.
- Reheating: For the best texture, reheat leftover mushrooms in an oven or skillet rather than a microwave to maintain their crispiness.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Using fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese will significantly improve the flavor of your dish. Always opt for the best quality!
