Default Roasting Mushrooms

Roasting Mushrooms
Love mushrooms? Here's a little secret for getting the most flavor out of even ordinary mushrooms: Mushrooms take on a dark, caramel-like flavor when they're roasted, so there's no need to spend more on pricey mushroom varieties.

Try this roasting method, and serve these mushrooms on the side with broiled fish or grilled chicken:

Slice the mushrooms and toss them with a little olive oil. Lay them on a sheet pan, with salt and pepper, in a single layer and put them in a 275°F oven. They will release their water as they roast and begin drying out and curling, which intensifies their flavor. Move the mushrooms around so that they dry out evenly. It should take 40 minutes to an hour. Afterwards, season them with balsamic vinegar and a little bit of virgin olive oil.
