ROASTED MUSHROOMS WITH GARLIC
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I have a strange relationship with mushrooms.
I only make them because I know my family likes them. And yes, before you get all preachy with your "mushrooms are awesome you must have this feeling from long ago" or "you haven't had a good mushroom so you can't say that" attitude, I will stop you right there.
I have tried mushrooms recently. As recently as cooking this recipe!
I try mushrooms, prepared in various ways, at least every other year to see if my feelings toward them have changed with age.
This has happened with other foods, so I don't give up on them. Maybe I will actually start liking them when I'm 100.
My personal feelings and taste buds aside, mushrooms are a very popular food and they make great appetizers.
Just look at my Magnificent Stuffed Mushrooms, and my Mushroom Bruschetta Spread! Both are loved by my family but not by me. But I am here for you guys and not just myself.
So I have parlayed these roasted garlic butter mushrooms into an appetizer that you can also use to put on your cheese board or relish tray!
These Garlic Butter Mushrooms are super easy to put together and you can have them in the oven in less than 5 minutes!
The melted butter, garlic, and fresh herb mixture pairs perfectly with the Earthiness of the mushrooms but you can also use it for pasta, rice, chicken, or on a hunk of crusty French bread!
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC ROASTED MUSHROOMS
Start by grabbing a cast iron skillet or other oven-proof dish or pan. Preheat your oven to 400F and gather the few ingredients you need.
Fresh garlic or pre-minced garlic in the jar works well for this recipe. Add it to your melted butter, and roughly chop some fresh herbs to go in it too. Using this herb stripper to get the leaves off the stems is a time saver!
I like to make this mixture ahead of time and let the garlic and herbs infuse the melted butter a little more. You can just reheat it when you are ready to go!
Clean your mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Don't throw them away as they make a great addition to vegetable stock or burgers!
Place the mushrooms in your pan (or baking dish) and brush them with the melted butter.
Spoon the garlic and herbs into the caps until they are all full and the garlic and herbs are all used. If there is any remaining melted butter, drizzle it over the mushrooms.
Pop the pan in the oven and roast for 15 minutes or until the garlic and herbs are smelling delicious and the mushrooms are a nice dark brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the mushrooms cool for a few minutes. Transfer the roasted garlic butter mushrooms to a serving dish, bowl for your cheese board, or another container, and enjoy!

CAN COOKED MUSHROOMS BE FROZEN?
Yes you can. Raw mushrooms do not freeze as well as cooked mushrooms. Just be sure to let them cool and store in an air-tight container/bag in the freezer for up to a month.
CAN THESE BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME AND REHEATED?
You can reheat these garlic butter mushrooms if they have been stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 24 hours. When reheating them, reheat in the oven at 175 F until warm.
HOW LONG WILL THESE GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS LAST AT ROOM TEMPERATURE?
Not longer than 2 hours for safety reasons.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FREEZE GARLIC MUSHROOMS?
Place cooked mushrooms on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Space the mushrooms evenly, without touching, on the sheet and place in the freezer.
Freeze for two hours and then remove and store in a freezer container until ready to use.
