Roasted Shiitake Mushrooms
Roasted shiitake mushrooms make a tasty side dish and ingredient to add to meals! Roasting shiitake mushrooms brings out a crispy, almost "bacon" like flavor and texture! They're easy to prepare and I'm sharing all my tips in this complete guide to shiitake mushrooms.
Ingredients
- ½ lb shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- fresh pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Trim the tips off the shiitake mushrooms. Thinly slice the mushroom caps and chop the stems. Spread on mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil. Use a fork to spread mushrooms and coat evenly with oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper to taste.
- Place in oven and roast mushrooms for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and shift mushrooms around on the baking sheet so they crsip evenly. Cook an additional 5 - 15 minutes until crispy brown. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
Notes
Look for shiitake mushrooms in the spring and fall when their prices may be lower.
Don't wash mushrooms until right before cooking (or not at all) for the best results.
Oven roasted shiitake mushrooms are best eaten when freshly cooked.
