Easy + Delicious One Pan Side Dish
Delicious side dish staples are tough to come by. Often they take a little bit of fuss that I don’t want to deal with and/or it’s a side salad which, let’s be real, isn’t very exciting. Side salad: I’m just not that into you. There, I said it. Anyway pair said side salad with Easy Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms and you’ve got yourself one heck of an epic dinner accompanying duo.
Whole mushrooms are topped with melted garlic butter then sent into the oven to roast until tender on the inside, and slightly crisp on top. Trust me when I tell you to make a double batch!
How to Make Easy Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms
Start with a 16oz container whole mushrooms – baby bellas, white, or otherwise – they all roast up deliciously.
Gently wash away the dirt on the outside of the mushrooms then trim the stems to be flush with the caps and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Add 1/4 cup butter and 4 cloves minced garlic to a small dish then microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. I adore garlic so four cloves is the right amount for me, but if you’re a little sensitive I’d go with two or three. I’ve also made this dish with vegan butter, and it’s just as delicious!
While you’re washing and prepping the mushrooms, pop a large cast iron skillet into the oven then preheat it to 400 degrees. The hot skillet causes the bottoms of the mushrooms to sizzle when placed inside, giving them a good sear from the get go. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you can use a pie pan or baking dish. You won’t need to preheat those first though. Place the mushrooms into the preheated skillet stem side up then spoon the garlic butter on top, taking care to try and contain the garlic to the top of the mushrooms vs letting it fall down into the skillet or pan which could cause it to burn in the oven.
Season with salt and pepper then roast for 25-30 minutes, basting the mushrooms with the butter in the bottom of the skillet halfway through.
