Ingredients
Cremini mushrooms
20 (cut into quarters (medium-sized))
Olive oil
1/4 cup
Balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup (use a good quality aged for better flavor, can reduce for milder taste)
Honey
1 tablespoon
Fresh thyme
1 teaspoon (chopped)
Dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon
Ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cremini mushrooms, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, fresh thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and kosher salt. Seal the bag and gently toss to coat the mushrooms evenly with the marinade. Allow the mushrooms to marinate for a minimum of 1-2 hours, or you may cook them immediately if you're short on time.
2
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a grill, prepare it for direct heat.
3
Take a large piece of aluminum foil and place the marinated mushrooms in the center. Fold the foil into a pouch, ensuring it is tightly sealed to retain moisture and flavor.
4
Place the foil pouch on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and flavorful. If grilling, be careful to avoid puncturing the pouch; use a spatula to turn it occasionally for even cooking.
5
Once done, carefully open the foil pouch (watch out for steam) and serve the mushrooms warm as a side dish, topping, or salad ingredient. Enjoy!
