Roasted Mushrooms


I love to roast just about any vegetable. It is such an easy way to prepare veggies. Today I roasted a mix of cremini and shitake mushrooms. The shitake mushrooms are from the farmer's market so that counts as locally grown (in my quest to be a better consumer) but the creminis are from Washington (not very local).


Drizzle olive oil on the mushrooms, season them with thyme, rosemary and pepper. Then roast them in a 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, until tender. Season with salt when they come out of the oven (if you salt them before they go in, they will lose a lot of their moisture). They cook down quite a bit.

  1. Although I'm not a vegetarian, much less a vegan, I just want to say that I really admire what you are practicing. Well done!

  2. Love the mushrooms...they would be great alone or with some roasted garlic, olive oil & grape tomatoes. Good stuff.
