Roasted Mushrooms to Die For
I print out recipes I find on the internet, cooking from a screen bugs me, even an Ipad on a stand is annoying. I can tell a recipe is really good by how stained a wrinkled the sheet gets. I have made this recipe 5 times now and it lives up to its name. I got it from The Splendid Table, a public radio show that talks about how important food and humans working together are. Our love of food is universal. I use yellow oyster mushrooms from the farmer's market for this, the grey ones at local Asian groceries work too. I like the milder flavor of the yellows. I have also used shitakes. When I use the oysters I use the thick bases they come on, I chop them up. If the mushrooms themselves are big halve or quarter them.
Roasted Mushrooms to Die For
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil (I use olive and 1 tbsp perilla oil)
- 2 tbsp honey ( I sub maple syrup when the honey jar is low)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 3-4 bay leaves fresh or dried
- 2 garlic gloves unpeeled and smashed
- 1 lb oyster mushrooms
Place the soy sauce, oil, honey, smoked paprika, bay leaves and garlic in a large bowl and combine. Add the mushrooms, stir to coat in the marinade and cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Marinate for at least 60 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. I also cover and seal it with aluminum foil first because the marinade cooks onto the pan if you do not.
Pour the mushrooms and marinade onto the baking sheet. Roast in the oven until golden brown and the sides are crispy! 20-25 minutes
And now you have made Roasted Mushrooms to Die For!
