Here’s a simple, savory Parmesan Mushrooms recipe 🍄🧀 — juicy, garlicky, and perfect as a side dish or appetizer.
Parmesan Mushrooms
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 16 oz mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned and halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or thyme
Instructions:
- Preheat oven:
400°F (200°C). Lightly grease or line a baking dish or sheet pan. - Season mushrooms:
In a bowl, toss mushrooms with olive oil (or butter), garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. - Bake:
Spread mushrooms in a single layer. Bake 15 minutes. - Add Parmesan:
Remove from oven, sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese. - Finish baking:
Return to oven and bake another 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly golden. - Serve:
Garnish with parsley or thyme. Serve hot.
⭐ Tips:
- Don’t overcrowd the pan or mushrooms will steam instead of roast.
- Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best flavor and browning.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice after baking to brighten the flavor.
🔄 Variations:
- Air fryer: 375°F for 10–12 minutes, shake halfway.
- Crispy version: Add ¼ cup breadcrumbs with the Parmesan.
- Creamy version: Stir in a splash of cream and return to oven 5 minutes.
If you want, I can also give you a skillet version or a Parmesan garlic mushroom appetizer with dipping sauce.
