Alongside steak or roasted chicken.
Piled over creamy mashed potatoes.
Tossed with pasta and extra Parmesan.
Served with crusty bread for soaking up the sauce (my favorite!).

Tips for Perfect Mushrooms

Don’t overcrowd the pan—spread mushrooms in a single layer.
For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Use similar-sized mushrooms so they roast evenly.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of butter or olive oil.
Freezer: Not recommended, as mushrooms lose their texture when frozen.
