Serves: 3–4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 18–22 minutes
⭐ Ingredients
- 1 lb whole mushrooms (white or baby bella), cleaned
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced (or use whole cloves for milder flavor)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Salt to taste

🍳 Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together:
- Balsamic vinegar
- Soy sauce
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Honey/brown sugar (optional)
- Pepper
- Onion powder
- Thyme/rosemary
(Do not add much salt yet—soy sauce is salty.)
3️⃣ Coat the Mushrooms
- Toss mushrooms in the marinade until fully coated.
- Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan.
4️⃣ Roast
Roast 18–22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until:
- Mushrooms are browned
- Edges are caramelized
- Liquid has reduced into a glossy glaze
5️⃣ Finish
- Taste and add salt only if needed.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
