Ingredients
Mushrooms
- Wild Mushrooms (a mix of chanterelles, shiitake, and oyster)
Seasonings & Fats
- Olive Oil (for roasting)
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Butter (for toasting breadcrumbs)
Garlic Breadcrumbs
- Fresh Garlic (minced)
- Breadcrumbs (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh Herbs (parsley or thyme)
Instructions
- Prep the Mushrooms: Gently clean your wild mushrooms with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt without soaking them. Trim stems if necessary and slice or leave whole depending on size to ensure even roasting.
- Make the Garlic Breadcrumbs: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant but not browned. Stir in breadcrumbs and fresh herbs, tossing to coat and lightly toast until golden and crisp.
- Toss Mushrooms in Olive Oil and Seasonings: Drizzle olive oil over mushrooms in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the Mushrooms: Spread mushrooms out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes until they begin to brown and become tender.
- Add Garlic Breadcrumbs and Roast Again: Remove mushrooms from oven, sprinkle generously with garlic breadcrumbs, then return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to crisp up the breadcrumbs perfectly.
Notes
- Arrange mushrooms in a single layer to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Use fresh wild mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast breadcrumbs separately on the stovetop to avoid sogginess.
- Cook garlic gently to prevent burning and bitterness.
- Season mushrooms before roasting and adjust breadcrumb seasoning to taste.
