These Roasted Mushrooms with Balsamic Glaze are a savory and sophisticated side dish that pairs well with meats or as a stand-alone vegetarian delight. The earthy flavor of the mushrooms is enhanced by the richness of a tangy balsamic reduction, which caramelizes during roasting, giving them a deep, slightly sweet taste. With just a few simple ingredients—garlic, olive oil, and fresh thyme—this dish is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare. It’s perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday gatherings, bringing a gourmet touch to your table in under 30 minutes.
Recipe Tips and Tricks:
- Choose small to medium mushrooms to ensure they roast evenly.
- Use fresh thyme or rosemary for the best flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd the mushrooms on the baking sheet to allow them to crisp up.
- For a deeper glaze, reduce the balsamic vinegar a bit longer before drizzling.
