This recipe came from a neighbor who swore it could make anyone love mushrooms. She was right. The mix of honey and garlic caramelizes beautifully in the oven, filling the kitchen with the most irresistible aroma. Whether as a side dish or a meatless main, it’s love at first bite.
500g whole mushrooms, cleaned
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, butter, honey, garlic, and soy sauce.
Toss mushrooms in the mixture until evenly coated.
Spread on a baking tray in a single layer.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until mushrooms are golden and tender.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice after baking for a bright finish.
Perfect with grilled meats, rice, or served over toast.
