Roasted balsamic mushrooms

Roasted balsamic mushrooms are a delightful and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a side or a main course. The combination of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and oregano elevates the natural umami flavor of mushrooms, making it a satisfying and delicious option. With the addition of creamy ricotta cheese, this dish becomes an irresistibly savory treat that is both easy and quick to make.

Ingredients:

2 cups mushrooms
460g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
2 tbsp dried oregano
30g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Mushrooms:
Clean and trim 2 cups (460g) of mushrooms. Leave small mushrooms whole, and cut larger ones into halves or quarters to ensure even roasting.
3. Mix Marinade:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 minced garlic cloves (6g), 2 tablespoons (30g) balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons (30g) dried oregano, and 2 tablespoons (27g) olive oil. Whisk together until well combined.
4. Coat Mushrooms:
Add the prepared mushrooms to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them gently to ensure that all mushrooms are evenly coated.
5. Roast Mushrooms:
Spread the coated mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
6. Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the mushrooms for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting.
7. Serve:
Remove the roasted mushrooms from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Top with 1/3 cup (72g) of ricotta cheese, distributing it evenly over the mushrooms.
8. Enjoy:
Serve immediately as a side dish or over your favorite grain or pasta for a delicious meal.

Tips:

- Choose mushrooms that are firm and fresh for the best texture and flavor.

- You can use a mix of different mushroom varieties to add depth and complexity to the dish.

- Ensure that the mushrooms are evenly coated with the marinade by tossing them well before roasting.

- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easier and prevent the mushrooms from sticking.

- For a stronger garlic flavor, use minced garlic instead of whole cloves.

- Serve the mushrooms hot, straight from the oven, for the best taste and texture.

- Feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme just before serving for an extra burst of freshness.

- Adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar and olive oil according to your taste preferences.

Roasted balsamic mushrooms offer a rich, savory experience that pairs wonderfully with a variety of meals. The balsamic vinegar adds a tangy sweetness, while the garlic and oregano infuse an aromatic richness into the mushrooms. The creamy ricotta cheese complements the dish, adding a smooth texture and mild flavor that balances out the boldness of the mushrooms. This simple yet sophisticated recipe is sure to impress and delight any palate.
