How to Roast Mushrooms in the Oven

Mushrooms are one of our favorite ingredients. They are delicious and nutritious, and with the help of a hot oven, they are simple to cook. For a stove-top recipe, here’s our no-fail method for cooking mushrooms on the stove.

To make the ultimate batch of roasted mushrooms, we roast them in a hot oven. Roasting at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35 minutes intensifies the flavor and turns the mushrooms golden brown.

Our method works for all types of mushrooms. In our photos, we used baby bella (or cremini) mushrooms. Larger mushrooms like portobello or more exotic mushrooms like king oyster mushrooms all work in this recipe. Check out our Roasted Portobello Mushrooms with Eggs for another easy roasted mushroom recipe.

In this recipe, we roast mushrooms with fresh herbs, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. When roasting mushrooms, we look for them to turn brown and caramelize in spots before adding additional ingredients like garlic.

The mushrooms take around 35 minutes to roast, which is too long for the garlic. So adding garlic toward the end of roasting maintains the garlicky flavor.

Here’s How We Do It

To start, toss mushrooms with olive oil and fresh herbs. We love bay leaves and thyme. Spread everything onto a baking sheet, then roast in the oven until they begin to brown.

After 25 minutes, remove the mushrooms from the oven and stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper. After another five to 10 minutes in the oven, the mushrooms are golden brown and delicious.

By the way, we add the salt towards the end. Salt brings out moisture, which in the case of mushrooms, can cause them to steam, which prevents them from browning in the oven. Adding the salt later in the cooking process makes them golden brown and well seasoned.

Some of our favorite ways to serve roasted mushrooms are to add them to toasted bread and make crostini (see our Mushrooms and Truffle Salt Crostini) and toss them with butter and pasta like in our Easy Mushroom Pasta.

High Heat is Key to Super Crisp (Never Soggy!) Mushrooms

I haven’t always been the biggest fan of mushrooms – it’s only in recent years that I’ve grown to love them & I think the main reason why it took me so long was their texture. These roasted mushrooms are what changed the game for me. They’re so crispy, earthy, & flavorful (& never soggy or slimy!) – it’s impossible not to be obsessed!

Roasting mushrooms is THE way to cook fresh wild mushrooms (like maitakes, pictured here). Using the high heat of the oven is a totally hands-off way to get them beautifully browned & crispy every single time. Once they’ve crisped up, toss the roasted mushrooms with a flavor-forward seasoning of butter, garlic, woodsy fresh herbs, a kiss of lemon for brightness, & plenty of grated parmesan. They’re eat-straight-off-the-pan delicious.

Now I find myself making oven roasted mushrooms all the time. They’re the perfect hearty add-on for a quick pasta or creamy risotto, & they’re also a great easy side dish for pretty much any hearty main course. This roasted mushroom recipe is a simple staple you can – & will! – use over & over again!

Roasted Mushroom Recipe Highlights

SERIOUSLY CRISPY. No soggy mushrooms here! High-heat roasting creates mushrooms that are perfectly browned & crisp, rather than soft & slimy.

SO SIMPLE. This hands-off recipe is one of our weeknight staples. You need just 8 simple ingredients & then the oven does all the work!

GREAT WITH ANYTHING. Roast whatever variety of mushrooms you love most (maitake, oyster, chanterelle, etc.) & serve them with everything from pasta to steak to risotto.

Key Ingredients

One thing you’ll love about these oven roasted mushrooms is the fact that they are so simple to make. You need just 8 simple ingredients – beautiful mushrooms of your choice & some staple aromatics for a simple yet flavor-forward seasoning.

Note: Full ingredients list & measurements provided in the Recipe Card, below.

• Mushrooms – I love using hearty maitake mushrooms for this recipe, but feel free to choose whatever you like most. More on mushrooms below!
• Garlic & herbs – Plenty of chopped garlic & hardy fresh herbs like rosemary, sage, thyme, &/or oregano pair beautifully with woodsy mushrooms.
• Butter – Melted butter cooks the garlic & herbs right on the pan, infusing the mushrooms with more flavor.
• Finishing touches – Lemon juice adds the best kiss of brightness, while a showering of freshly grated parmesan makes the mushrooms eat-straight-off-the-pan delicious. Feel free to use a rennet-free parmesan to keep this recipe vegetarian!

The Best Mushrooms for Roasting

There are endless beautiful mushroom varieties to choose from! This roasted mushroom recipe is all about using whatever you love most.

I like to splurge on gorgeous wild varieties like maitake (pictured) since mushrooms are the star of the show. Oyster, shiitake, chanterelle, king trumpet, & portobello mushrooms are also fantastic because you can tear them into hearty pieces.

If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, rest assured that white button or cremini mushrooms (baby bellas) roast beautifully using this recipe too.

Meal Prep Tip!

This roasted mushroom recipe moves quickly, so it’s best to get all the prep work taken care of before you start to cook. Tear your mushrooms, chop your herbs & garlic, & have everything within arm’s reach of the oven. Once the oven is preheated, you’re all set to just focus on cooking!

I love roasting mushrooms in the oven because of the oven’s high heat & hands-off cooking. The whole process is super simple from start to finish & it yields perfect results every time. It’s the best way to cook mushrooms – I swear you’ll never go back!

Full Recipe Directions, including step-by-step photos, are included in the Recipe Card, below.

Preheat a baking sheet. Toss a baking sheet in the oven while it preheats to 450 degrees F. Why? ⇢ The mushrooms start to brown instantly when they hit a piping-hot pan. One of the secrets to extra-crispy results! 🤓

Add the mushrooms. Quickly coat the pan with olive oil & add the mushrooms, ensuring they’re arranged in an even layer. Pop them into the oven & roast for about 10 minutes. Why? ⇢ The mushrooms need to be in direct contact with the hot pan to crisp up, so an even layer is key. Try not to overcrowd the pan!

Season with salt. After the first 10 minutes, give the pan a quick shake & season them with a good pinch of salt. Return to the oven to roast for about 5 more minutes. Why? ⇢ Salt draws out mushrooms’ natural moisture. (Osmosis, baby! 👩🏻‍🔬) Seasoning the mushrooms before roasting pulls out their natural moisture & creates steam in the oven, making the mushrooms soggy instead of crisp. For deliciously crispy results, it’s best to season the mushrooms once they’ve already begun to brown.

Add butter, garlic, & herbs. After the next 5 minutes, shake the mushrooms again, creating space in the middle of the pan. Add the butter, which will begin to melt as soon as it hits the hot pan, & top with chopped garlic & herbs so they can cook in the butter, alongside the mushrooms, for just a few minutes.

Finishing touches! Stir the mushrooms so they’re coated in butter, garlic, & herbs then finish the pan with a squeeze of lemon juice & a showering of freshly grated parmesan. Pro Tip! ⇢ Try a mushroom straight off the pan to give it a taste & adjust seasoning as needed. (Warning: you may eat the whole pan right then & there! 😎)

Alternate Cooking Method – Stovetop

While I love how hands-off these oven roasted mushrooms are, pan-roasted mushrooms are equally delicious. This is a great alternate method if your oven is already in high demand!

It’s essential to use a heavy bottom skillet (like a cast-iron pan) to make pan-roasted mushrooms. Cast iron conducts heat well, mimicking the high-temperature oven for the best crispy results. A HOT pan is essential to getting the browned mushrooms we’re after. From there, the process of cooking & seasoning the mushrooms is very similar & takes nearly the same amount of time as roasting mushrooms in the oven.

Check out the Recipe Notes, below, for a detailed step-by-step!

Roasting Mushrooms FAQs

There are 2 key secrets to beautifully crisp, never soggy mushrooms:

• Roasting the mushrooms in high heat is critical – the mushrooms begin to caramelize & crisp as soon as the hot air of the oven hits them.
• Rather than seasoning the mushrooms right away, which draws out their natural moisture & creates steam in the oven, par-roast the mushrooms first & season halfway through.

What is the best temp to roast mushrooms?

Super hot! We’re cooking these roasted mushrooms at 450 degrees F for extra-crispy results.

How long to roast mushrooms?

This roasted mushroom recipe only takes about 20 minutes in total. Another benefit of using high heat is quick results! 🙌🏼

What to Serve with Roasted Mushrooms

I can’t emphasize enough how irresistible these oven roasted mushrooms are – I always eat at least a handful right off the pan!

My favorite way to eat these roasted mushrooms is by using them as an add-on to other dishes like Brown Butter Pasta, Wild Mushroom Ragu, or Mushroom Risotto. The mushrooms have a fantastic meatiness that adds a little extra something to any dish.

These Crispy Roasted Mushrooms with Garlic & Parmesan are the seriously the BEST mushrooms you’ll ever eat – tender but seriously crispy & golden brown, & tossed with garlic butter & fresh herbs for next-level flavor.

The secret lies in roasting the mushrooms in 3 phases in a screaming hot oven. A quick initial roast on a preheated baking sheet browns the mushrooms instantly, while seasoning them with salt & aromatics part way through yields an especially flavor-forward result.

As far as seasoning goes, I like to keep things classic, using butter, garlic, & fresh herbs, but a quick spritz of lemon juice brings all the flavors to life & showering the roasted mushrooms with parmesan makes them eat-straight-off-the-pan delicious. Feel free to take your seasonings in a different direction based on whatever you plan to serve your mushrooms with – swap lemon for soy sauce or balsamic vinegar, swap the fresh herbs with your favorite dried seasoning, or skip the cheese & sprinkle fresh chives or parsley over top!

• maitake mushrooms or mushrooms of choice, torn or sliced into hearty bite-sized pieces (see Recipe Notes)
• olive oil
• heaping teaspoon kosher salt
• unsalted butter, diced into – small pieces
• finely chopped hardy fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano, etc.)
• cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
• lemon, juiced
• finely grated parmesan

Instructions

• Prep: Place a rimmed half sheet pan on a rack positioned in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the oven (with the sheet pan in it) to 450 degrees F. Meanwhile, as the oven preheats, it’s a great time to prep ingredients according to the Ingredients List, above – e.g., tear/slice the mushrooms, finely chop the herbs & garlic, etc. Set everything within arm’s reach of the oven.
• Phase 1 – Roast the mushrooms: Working quickly & carefully, remove the hot sheet pan from the oven. Place the olive oil on the sheet pan, shaking to coat the surface. Place the mushrooms over top, shaking them into a single, uniform layer – the mushrooms should sizzle as soon as they hit the hot pan. Transfer the sheet pan to the oven & roast for 10 minutes.
• Phase 2 – Roast the mushrooms: After the 10 minutes have passed, remove the sheet pan from the oven. The mushrooms should start to look golden & crisp at this point. Season the mushrooms with the kosher salt, shaking to coat well, then arrange them into single, uniform layer again. Return to the oven to roast for 5 more minutes.
• Phase 3 – Roast the mushrooms: After the next 5 minutes have passed, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Give the mushrooms another good shake to ensure they brown evenly. Place the butter in an empty space near the center of the pan – it should start to melt almost immediately. Place the fresh herbs & garlic over top. Return to the oven to roast for 3-5 more minutes, until the mushrooms are as tender/crisp as you like.
• Finishing touches: Remove the sheet pan from the oven & shake/stir to coat the mushrooms well in the butter, garlic, & herbs. Squeeze lemon juice over top, then finish with the parmesan cheese. Enjoy immediately – these crispy mushrooms are a great add-on to a simple Brown Butter Pasta, Wild Mushroom Ragu sauce, or Mushroom Risotto. They’re also a fantastic simple side dish for any dinner, like Cast Iron Steak, Creamy Pork Marsala, or Individual Beef Wellington. (That is, if you don’t eat them all straight off the pan – yes, they’re that good!) Enjoy!

  Best mushrooms to roast in the oven: Since they’re the star of this simple dish, I like to splurge for really beautiful wild mushrooms – maitake (pictured), oyster, chanterelle, & king trumpet mushrooms are all great because you can tear them into beautiful hearty pieces.

Recipe FAQs

How do you clean mushrooms?

he best way to clean mushrooms is to use a damp paper towel to gently rub each mushroom. You can also rinse your mushrooms in a colander, but be sure to rinse them briefly; do not soak them in water.

How long do you roast mushrooms in the oven?

I roast my mushrooms at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes. That time assumes that you’re using standard sized button mushrooms. If your mushrooms are on the smaller side, start checking them around the 15 minute mark. If your mushrooms are larger, they could take 25 minutes to become tender.

Are mushrooms good for you?

Mushrooms are full of nutrients including antioxidants, Vitamin B, Copper and Potassium. Mushrooms are low in calorie, low sodium and low in carbohydrates. In this particular recipe, the mushrooms are coated in butter which isn’t the healthiest option. If you’re looking to reduce the calories, you can cut the amount of butter in half.

Roasted mushroom variations

While these mushrooms are great as-is, you can add all different ingredients and flavorings to dress them up a bit.

• Cheese: Add a sprinkle of parmesan or white cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of the roasting time.
• Onions: Add sliced onion to the pan along with the raw mushrooms.
• Balsamic: Add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the butter mixture.
• Thyme: Use fresh thyme leaves instead of chopped parsley.
• Asparagus: Add 1/2 pound of asparagus stalks cut into 2 inch pieces.
• Sun Dried Tomatoes: Stir in chopped oil-packed sun dried tomatoes right before serving.

I make these roasted mushrooms almost every week, and they’re always a huge hit. Even my kids enjoy them!

The Best Roasted Mushrooms

And we’re here to prove why! Oven roasting mushrooms at high temperatures for a short amount of time allows for the water to release, in turn leaving soft melt-in-your-mouth insides and golden brown caramelized outsides. In this recipe for roasted mushrooms, you’ll be greeted by earthy, meaty, herbaceous, crave-worthy bites of deliciousness. They’re quick, easy, and super flavorful with less than 8 ingredients. A perfect savory side for all dietary needs as these are vegan and paleo friendly! While roasting mushrooms is the easiest way to cook them and concentrate their flavor, we also love Dry-Sauté Mushrooms!

Are Roasted Mushrooms Good For You?

Oven roasted mushrooms are super underrated! Not only are they earthy, savory, and meaty but also are packed with nutrients! Roasted mushrooms in the oven are generally low in calories and fat and are great to bulk up a meal. They contain Vitamin D, riboflavin, potassium and are a good source of fiber! Some experts even say that roast mushrooms can help boost your immune system, have anti-cancer properties, and lower your blood pressure due to their antioxidants!

Some of our other favorite ways to cook mushrooms include savory Mushroom Gravy, Wild Mushroom Risotto, and Stuffed Mushrooms!

How Do You Keep Mushrooms From Getting Soggy In The Oven?

• Gently clean your mushrooms with a paper towel rather than running them under cold water.
• Since mushrooms are a high water content food, meaning that their sponge-like structure allows for water to be released during cooking, we recommend that if juices pool halfway through baking, drain them off the tray so they continue to roast instead of steam.
• When in doubt, salt after, prevents the water from being released more rapidly during cooking.

Oven-roasted mushrooms can go with just about any dish: they’re extremely versatile, light yet still hearty! We love to use them alongside mains like Prime Rib, Steak Frites, Roast Chicken with Lemon Pan Sauce, or Lemon Chicken. Sprinkle them over our Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Green Bean Almondine. Add them to Alfredo Sauce or Homemade Marinara to bulk up the sauce. They also go great with pasta such as Vegan Cauliflower Gnocchi, Sausage Kale Pasta with Lemon Cream Sauce, or Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta. There are so many ways to devour roasted mushrooms but our favorite way is straight from the baking sheet.

• Prep! For our roasted mushrooms recipe, we use cremini mushrooms but you can make it your own and roast portobello, shiitake, or button mushrooms – whatever you have available! Cut into quarters and drizzle with olive oil and salt! Pro tip: place them cut-side down in a single layer to get that crispy bottom!
• Cook! You’ll do this in two iterations at 450°F. First, cook them for 10 minutes. They might start to release some water so now is a great time to remove the liquid from the rimmed baking sheet. Add in the garlic and thyme halfway through so it doesn’t burn! Toss them and then return them to a single layer, preferably on the other cut side for optimal golden-brown color!
• Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy! Roast mushrooms will become caramelized on the outside and soft on the inside!

Tools You’ll Need For Roasted Mushrooms

When we’re in a pinch for time but want to make sure we’re prepped for the week, we throw a bunch of veggies on a sheet pan and roast! Here is a collection of our favorite veggies to roast, with the perfect time and temperature for caramelized outsides and tender insides:
