Savory Roasted King Trumpet Mushrooms
Overview:
INGREDIENTS:
Preparation:
Start by cleaning the King Trumpet Mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the tough ends of the stems, and slice the mushrooms lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, thyme, rosemary, and minced garlic.
Lay out the sliced mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over the mushroom slices. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the mushrooms to taste.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the baking sheet in the oven. Roast the mushrooms for about 15-20 minutes, until they’re golden brown and tender. Take the mushrooms out of the oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat, then transfer to a serving platter.
If desired, garnish with a scattering of fresh microgreens before serving.
