What Goes Into Roasted Mushrooms
These mushrooms come together with just a few pantry staples and fresh aromatics. The glaze is bold and savory, perfectly complementing the earthy flavor of the mushrooms as they roast.
Here are a few key players:
- Mushrooms – Use any kind you like, but cremini or button mushrooms hold up beautifully in the oven.
- Balsamic vinegar & soy sauce – This combo creates a deep, umami-rich glaze that coats the mushrooms.
- Garlic, herbs, and a touch of brown sugar – These round out the flavor with just the right balance of savory and sweet.

How To Make Roasted Mushrooms
- Preheat The Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick spray to keep the mushrooms from sticking.
- Clean The Mushrooms: Gently wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt or debris, being careful not to soak them.
- Toss With Glaze: In a large bowl, mix mushrooms with melted butter, oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, herbs, brown sugar, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
- Roast Until Tender: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
These Roasted Mushrooms are bold, savory, and incredibly versatile, making them the perfect sidekick to a variety of main dishes.
Try them alongside Roast Beef Tenderloin for a cozy, elegant meal, or pair them with Easy Oven Baked Ribs slathered in homemade BBQ sauce for a hearty, comforting spread. They’re also a great match for Garlic Butter Grilled Steak and Shrimp — the mushrooms soak up every bit of sauce and deliver a satisfying, umami-packed bite.
Recipe FAQ’s
Nope! Mushrooms don’t need to be peeled like other vegetables. A quick rinse is fine if they’re especially dirty, but usually, a wipe with a damp paper towel is all you need. Just be sure to dry them well, as they already release plenty of moisture while cooking.
Yes! This roasted mushroom recipe works with a variety of mushrooms — button, cremini, portobello, or even a mix. Just try to keep the sizes fairly consistent for even roasting.
Yes, you can definitely make Roasted Mushrooms the day before serving. Simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave or in a hot pan just before serving. That said, fresh is best — they taste their absolute best straight out of the oven when the glaze is hot and glossy.

I tired this recipe today and it was good. I put less oil. There’s plenty of sauce so I added broccoli on the side. It was perfect. I’m saving the recipe!
Delicious! Left out the brown sugar and it was still fabulous. I recommend using non-stick foil rather than just spraying pan with cooking spray.
So easy and fast. Total hit. Omitted the brown sugar.
Incredibly tasty and visually appealing. They were even worth the burnt pan when I forgot about removing them in in time. This is a keeper.
These are DIVINE. Beautiful combo of flavours, not too sweet or salty. Will be making more.

I love mushrooms but I am always afraid of ruining them due to the delicate cleaning process. What type of oil do you recommend using – vegetable or olive? I plan to make these as a side to the garlic herb prime rib for Christmas. Thanks!!
These look delicious – may try them for Christmas.
