Ingredients
Base Recipe
- Shiitake Mushrooms
- Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste (~1/4 t)
- Pepper, to taste (~1/4 t)
Optional Add-Ons
- 2 T Fresh Herbs (or 2 t dried herbs)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the stems from the shiitakes and place them gill-side up on a baking sheet
- Drizzle with Olive Oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add any of the optional herbs.
- Toss the mushrooms until they are equally coated.
- Spread mushrooms evenly across the baking sheet and make sure there is room around each mushroom.
- Broil for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the caps are starting to brown.
Notes
- I estimate 2-4 oz per person when meal planning. Smaller end if it's going in something, or closer to 4 if it's part of the main meal.
- Great recipe for preparing mushrooms for pizzas or flatbreads.
- Mushrooms must have space in between them to encourage the water inside to evaporate. If they overlap or touch on the edges, they are likely to steam instead of getting the crispy texture that's intended.
