Roasted Mushrooms in a Browned Butter is a rich and savory side dish that highlights the earthy flavor of mushrooms with the nutty depth of browned butter. Simple, elegant, and incredibly flavorful, it’s a go-to for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, shiitake, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean mushrooms with a damp towel and trim stems if needed.
  3. Toss mushrooms with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs if using.
  4. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisped.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Let cook 4–5 minutes until golden and nutty, swirling the pan often.
  6. Add garlic to butter during last 30 seconds if using, then remove from heat.
  7. Transfer roasted mushrooms to a bowl and pour browned butter over them.
  8. Toss gently, add lemon juice and fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add balsamic vinegar or soy sauce before roasting for extra umami.
  • Stir in crème fraîche or goat cheese for a creamy variation.
  • Top with toasted breadcrumbs or crushed nuts for crunch.
  • Mix in roasted shallots or pearl onions for more depth.
  • Double butter if serving over toast or polenta.
  • Store in fridge up to 3 days; reheat in skillet for best texture.
