Ingredients
  

For the Mushrooms
  • 4 pound mushrooms combination of crimini, royal trumpet, maitake, and oyster mushrooms recommended
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
For the Dressing
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 pound shallots cleaned and sliced thin
  • 1 splash olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms and cut any larger ones into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the grapeseed oil, salt, and pepper to the mushrooms. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  5. While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, sliced shallots, olive oil, chopped thyme, cayenne pepper, and red wine vinegar. Stir well.
  6. Once the mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Transfer the hot mushrooms to a serving bowl. Pour the dressing over the hot mushrooms and toss gently to combine. The heat from the mushrooms will lightly cook the garlic and shallots.
  7. Let the dish cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve warm as a delicious side dish. This recipe can be made ahead and served at room temperature or gently reheated.

Notes

For make-ahead convenience, roast the mushrooms and prepare the dressing separately. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Combine and dress the mushrooms just before serving, or allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before dressing.
