Ingredients

  • mushrooms3 cups halved
  • olive oil1 tbsp
  • mixed herbs1 tsp
  • salt1/2 tsp

Method

  1. Clean and halve

    Wipe the mushrooms clean with a dry cloth and cut them in half. Wiping instead of washing keeps them from soaking up water, which would steam out later and stop them browning properly.

  2. Season

    Toss the mushrooms with the olive oil, mixed herbs and salt until coated. Add the salt just before cooking, since salting early pulls out the water and leaves the mushrooms wet and soft.

  3. Spread out

    Spread the mushrooms in a single layer in the basket so the moisture can cook off. Mushrooms hold a lot of water, so crowding steams them limp while spacing lets them brown.

  4. Roast until browned

    Roast at 190°C for 15 min, shaking the basket halfway, until the mushrooms are browned and tender with their extra moisture fully cooked away and the edges lightly crisp.
