Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms
Fit For Life Physical Therapy
Rebecca Youngs, MS, RD, LD
Three fresh ingredients and some pantry staples equal the easiest side dish in the new year! I came up with this marinated mushroom recipe after becoming obsessed with a version from Whole Foods years ago! These can be eaten alone, served warm over a salad, or added to an antipasto platter! Don’t wash or soak the mushrooms; they are like a sponge and will soak up all of the water and become flavorless and mushy. I like using portabella mushrooms because they are very meaty and stand up well to the strong flavor of the balsamic. Mushrooms are low in fat and high in fiber, making them a great vegetable to incorporate into your daily diet. They are so versatile and are a great substitute for meat once a week!
Ingredients
1 8-oz package of portabella mushrooms
1 ½ Tbsp. olive or avocado oil
3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 ½ Tbsp. fresh parsley
1 tsp. fresh or dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried oregano
Sea salt
Pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
| 1. | Dampen a paper towel with cold water and squeeze out any excess. Use the towel to brush the top on the mushrooms to remove the dirt. |
| 2. | Chop mushrooms into large quarters or halves depending on the size after removing the stems. Put the mushrooms in a large bowl and add the oil, balsamic vinegar, parsley, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. |
| 3. | Toss the mushrooms and other ingredients until they are completely coated and have turned a dark color. Let the mushrooms marinate for 30 minutes giving them a stir halfway through. |
| 4. | Pour the mushrooms and dressing onto a foil lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender. Serve hot or cold or toss into a pasta dish or salad. |
