Quick overview

One ingredient, three ways to cook it. Below you’ll find quantities, servings, approximate times, and clear step-by-step instructions. Cooking times vary by appliance.

1. Garlic Butter Mushrooms

Serves: 3 · Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 400 g button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and halved
• 25 g unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley

Method

1. Pat mushrooms dry. Heat oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add mushrooms in one layer; cook for 5–7 minutes, turning once, until browned and moisture has mostly evaporated.
3. Reduce heat, add butter and garlic, stir 1 minute without burning garlic.
4. Season with salt and pepper; finish with parsley and serve warm.

Tip: Use a wide pan and cook in two batches if crowded.

2. Crispy Oven-Roasted Mushrooms

Serves: 3–4 · Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 450 g mushrooms, quartered if large
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp fine salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Method

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a large baking tray.
2. Dry mushrooms thoroughly and toss with oil, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
3. Spread into a single layer with space between pieces.
4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until browned and crisp at the edges. Add lemon juice before serving.
