Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Mushrooms are already a versatile and beloved ingredient, but this recipe takes them to a whole new level. The combination of balsamic vinegar and soy sauce creates a rich glaze that beautifully caramelizes as the mushrooms roast, resulting in a mouthwatering medley that’s both sweet and savory. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a touch of color and brightness, and you’ve got a dish that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Ingredients You’ll Need

2 pounds mushrooms: Choose your favorite variety—cremini, button, or a mix of wild mushrooms will all work beautifully.
1 tablespoon olive oil: Helps the mushrooms roast to perfection.
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar: For that signature tangy-sweet flavor.
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari: Adds a rich umami taste.
3 cloves garlic, minced: Infuses the dish with aromatic depth.
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste: For a subtle kick.
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped: Optional, but adds a fresh pop of green.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.
Toss the mushrooms: Add the cleaned and trimmed mushrooms to the bowl, tossing them in the marinade until they’re evenly coated.
Arrange for roasting: Spread the mushrooms out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Roast to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to achieve even caramelization.
Serve and enjoy: Once tender and caramelized, transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips for Success

Uniform Sizing: Try to use mushrooms of similar sizes to ensure even roasting. If they vary in size, consider halving larger ones.
Stir Midway: Stirring halfway through helps achieve even caramelization and ensures that all sides soak up the flavors.
Customize It: Feel free to add a sprinkle of red chili flakes for a hint of heat or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

Serving Suggestions

These Balsamic Soy Glazed Mushrooms pair well with a variety of main courses, from hearty roasts and grilled steaks to lighter fare like baked salmon or a vegetarian risotto.
