Description
We love these easy balsamic marinated mushrooms to add to Mediterranean bowls or as a flavorful side dish with steak or chicken. Great flavor and texture addition to so many meals!
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces of preferred mushrooms (evenly sized if possible)
- 2 cloves of fresh garlic
- 1/3 c olive oil
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp dried oregano (or 1/2 tsp fresh)
- 1/4 salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
For the Marinade
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 T cup olive oil
Instructions
- First, you will need to wash the mushrooms. I like to use a damp paper towel or mushroom brush to clean the mushrooms, so that they do not absorb to much moisture. Then, trim the stems. If the mushrooms are large, I quarter them. If my package has unevenly sized mushrooms, I cut the larger mushrooms and leave some of the smaller ones whole.
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Next, put all of the washed and cut mushrooms into a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp dried oregano (or 1/2 tsp fresh chopped oregano leaves), 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground pepper.
- Mix all of the spices and olive oil to coat the mushrooms evenly.
- Pour the seasoned mushrooms into a small baking dish. They do not need to be in a single layer as they will shrink a good amount when roasting. Roast the mushrooms for 25 minutes.
- Remove the mushrooms from the oven.
- Whisk 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar and 3 T olive oil in a glass measuring cup or small bowl.
- Next, transfer the mushrooms and juices to a container you would like to marinate them in. I like to use a glass storage container that is large enough to hold the mushrooms and the marinade.
- Pour the balsamic/ olive oil marinade over the top of the mushrooms. Leave them out of the fridge to cool, while they begin to marinate.
- Once cool, cover the container and place in the refrigerator for 2-24 hours.
Notes
- These mushrooms do not take long to cook, but 2-24 hours of marinating is recommended.
