Instructions

Toss the mushrooms: In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms with oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, chopped garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure each mushroom is evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer on a baking pan, making sure they have enough space to roast evenly and become tender.
Roast: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast the mushrooms for about 20 minutes. Halfway through, stir or toss the mushrooms to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
Check for tenderness: After roasting, the mushrooms should be tender and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve warm as a delicious side dish or topping.

Notes

Use cremini or button mushrooms for best texture and flavor.
Adjust soy sauce amount to reduce sodium if desired.
You can substitute dried thyme if fresh is not available; reduce quantity accordingly.
For a vegan option, use tamari instead of soy sauce to ensure gluten-free preference.
Serve with grilled meats, pasta, or as a hearty side with salads.
