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.
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!
If you would rather grill your mushrooms, then go print out my killer recipe for Grilled Mushroom Skewers!

1 pound mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and large ones cut in half
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 Tb olive oil
2 Tb chopped olives or capers
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 C chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tb butter
1/4 C fresh parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and lightly spray a shallow casserole dish with nonstick spray. In your dish, toss together the mushrooms, garlic, oil, olives or capers, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Dot the butter evenly over the top of the mushrooms and roast for 20 minutes, stirring half way through the cooking process.
Remove from the oven, turn on the broiler and place the oven rack on the highest level. Sprinkle the cheese over the mushrooms, return to the oven on the top rack and broil until the cheese melts and begins to brown, about 3 minutes.

I can’t wait to try these for thanksgiving. The only problem I have is turning up the heat when I have other dishes I’m cooking at the same time right before dinner. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

The great oven dilemma at Thanksgiving! These will work well if you can keep them warm. They may shrink a bit if they cool and then have to be reheated. If you have a way to keep them warm after baking them, that should work well

Can you make this recipe sans baking them in the oven? Any recommendations on how to replicate the recipe on the stove-top? Heading to a place upstate that has a small efficiency kitchen.

You could try them on a stove Stephanie, but the result will be different. The process of roasting them slowly brings out their natural sugars and flavor better than a sauté on the stove. Let me know how they turn out for you!

I don’t understand the cooking instructions. We put them in the over for 20 minutes, then we turn on the broiler and leave them there for three minutes? Please clarify

Hey Jeannette! You roast the mushrooms for 20 minutes at 450, remove them, sprinkle on the cheese. Bring your oven rack to the highest position and turn on your broiler on high. Put the mushrooms back in the oven, on the high rack, under the broiler until the cheese melts and browns.

Hi! May I know if this will work with shiitake mushrooms instead? Or canned mushrooms, by any chance? Fresh mushrooms are very expensive in our area. 🙁
