Best ways to enjoy it
These Balsamic Soy Roasted Garlic Mushrooms shine on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Serve them alongside grilled chicken or beef for a heartier meal, or lay them atop a bed of quinoa or rice for a wholesome vegetarian option. For an extra touch, sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley or chives just before serving for a burst of color.
Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with leftovers (though it’s hard to imagine!), store the cooled mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge. They will keep fresh for up to 3-4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but be cautious to avoid making them mushy.
Helpful cooking tips
To ensure the best results, choose mushrooms that are firm and free from blemishes. Always wash them gently; soaking them can make them waterlogged, which could cause them to become mushy during cooking. For an extra layer of flavor, experiment with adding garlic or shallots to the mix before roasting—the caramelization adds a lovely depth to the dish.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Try adding different flavor profiles to your mushrooms. For a Mediterranean twist, incorporate olives and feta cheese before serving. If you love a bit of spice, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or mix in some sautéed garlic for a punch. You can also sprinkle a handful of Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms during the last few minutes of roasting for a cheesy finish.
