If you like mushrooms(we're crazy about them), then I can guarantee that Lemon Garlic Roasted Mushrooms{Funghi Arrostiti con Lemone e Aglio}is for you. This recipe draws its flavors from fresh basil, Italian parsley, garlic, lemon and the star -- crimini mushrooms. It's a perfect hands-off recipe.
You prepare the ingredients then let the oven finish the job. Let me tell you how easy it is.
Prepare the ingredients
Normally we sauté or grill mushrooms but this time, we wanted to try something a little different. I saw this recipe and knew it was the perfect side for a busy family. It has the classic Italian cuisine flavors. The dish has few ingredients, easy to put together and the oven does the cooking.
The preparation steps are simple:
Clean the crimini mushrooms and cut the large ones.
Chop the garlic cloves
Mince the Italian parsley and thinly slice (chiffonade) the basil leaves.
Juice ½ lemon.
In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms with garlic olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the mushrooms
Heat the oven to 450° F. Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray. Spread out the seasoned mushrooms evenly on the baking sheet.
Half way through baking you shake the mushroom pieces and then sprinkle the garlic evenly over the browning mushrooms. Put the mushrooms back in the oven to finish baking.
Serve the roasted mushrooms and take a bow
Once the roasted mushrooms are golden brown and tender, pour them into a serving plate. Sprinkle the basil and minced parsley over the crimini and serve.
Prepare for the praise and gratitude -- bravissima mamma, un piatto fantastico {a great dish}.
Mushrooms add an elegant touch to a meal yet they are low in calories and very versatile.
