- Toss mushrooms with butter, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl using a rubber spatula.

HOW TO ROAST LARGE MUSHROOMS (EG PORTABELLO)
- (Video here for large mushrooms) Place mushrooms cap side down (ie stems facing up) in a medium baking dish (so they are kind of snug – they shrink).
- Spoon 1 tsp of butter over each mushroom, then use the rest to brush the edges (or carefully drizzle over edges).
- Drizzle over olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes (tender but still a slight firmness) or 25 minutes (tender) – no turning. There will be juices in the pan and plenty pooled in the mushrooms caps.
- Squeeze over a bit of lemon juice, sprinkle with thyme. Serve mushrooms, drizzled with pan juices (see notes for serving suggestions).
Recipe Notes:
1. Serving suggestions: Pictured in post with polenta (I use quick cook) and Garlic Sautéed Spinach, and on toast spread with ricotta. It’s also lovely with mashed potato or anything else to soak up all those juices (even low carb Creamy Mashed Cauliflower!).
