Roasted Mushrooms with garlic and Parmesan cheese make the perfect side dish recipe.  I love these over a grilled steak or chicken. It is an easy vegetable idea for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner that will make anyone a mushroom lover, even kids!

With six food loving kiddos, I’ve learned that there are certain holiday food traditions you just can’t mess with or you will “ruin Thanksgiving forever!” That was the reaction when I suggested adding a side dish of mushrooms to our traditional Thanksgiving feast.

Parmesan Garlic Roasted Mushrooms

To combat the six kill-joys I have been blessed with, I made a batch of these roasted mushrooms a few weeks ago along side some gorgeous grilled steaks and seasoned with Parmesan and garlic. It was my version of a “soft opening” for a new holiday side dish.

They went over beautifully, except with my 4 year old who has become obsessive about “things” touching her food.  Suddenly, all food must to be served in it’s natural state with no visible seasoning or complimentary ingredient stuck to it. Yeah, right. “Eat it or don’t” is the rule in our house but remember, there is no more food until breakfast 🙂

I acquired some monster sized mushrooms from Sam’s Club so most of my mushrooms had to be cut down to a smaller size, but if your mushrooms are normal size, just roast them whole.  Be prepared for these to shrink, a lot! I would say the volume of the mushrooms was easily reduced by half. Next time, I will definitely be making a double recipe because for our big family, one pound just didn’t go far enough. They were that scrumptious!

Will try this tomorrow when i have visitors. There wont be any garlic in it though. that stuff stinks too much and should be made illegal. I may grate some red onions instead. Pity my guests.

what kind of black olives and what kind of mushrooms?

Carole

Howdy Robin! Both are really your own personal preference. I just used regular black olives that were already chopped in the can. For the mushrooms, I used baby portabellas, but plain white mushrooms would also be great. Thanks for your questions!

Can you tell me the number of carbs per serving? Thank you.

Hey Margaret! There are some great online nutritional calculators if you would like that info. These mushrooms are amazing so I hope you give them a try.

Will Pyrex or Corningware crack under broiler?
I used a casserole glass dish that cracked from broiler heat. Why? Aren’t they made to stand high heat?

Carole

Bummer Margie! Pyrex definitely should not have cracked and I am shocked any dish at all did. The only reason a dish cracks is if it undergoes a severe temperature change quickly.

I would like to bring these to a potluck Thanksgiving dinner. What do you think would be the best way to cook these ahead of time and how to reheat once I get there while still guaranteeing the deliciousness?

Carole

I’ve never reheated them before Rachael because they are always gone. I worry about their texture after they are heated the second time that they may get a bit chewy. However you choose to reheat them, use a gentle heat, not a microwave
