Prep: 10 min | Cook: 25 min | Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 1lb (450 g) mushrooms (wild mushrooms preferred, but regular Cremini, Button, or Baby Bella work well)
  • 2 Tbsp Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Rosemary Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • 3 Tbsp Pedro Ximénez Sherry Vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 Tbsp unsalted butter for extra richness 
  • Optional garnish: fresh parsley or shaved Parmesan
  • Optional: 1-2 cloves minced garlic for extra pungency

Note: For more pumgent garlic taste you can add one clove of minced garlic to the recipe.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Prepare mushrooms: Clean and trim mushrooms; cut larger mushrooms into halves or quarters so all pieces are roughly the same size.

  3. Toss mushrooms with olive oil, (minced garlic - if adding), thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  4. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown.

  5. Finish with Pedro Ximénez Sherry Vinegar: Remove mushrooms from oven, drizzle with 3 tablespoons Pedro Ximénez Sherry Vinegar, and return to oven 3–4 minutes to allow the vinegar to caramelize slightly.

  6. Optional: Stir in a tablespoon of butter for extra richness, then sprinkle with parsley or Parmesan before serving.
