Instructions

Preheat Oven:

Prepare the Mushrooms:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cleaned mushrooms with melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme or rosemary (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure every mushroom is evenly coated. -
Roast the Mushrooms:
Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. -
