Roasted Pink Oyster Mushrooms

These roasted oyster mushrooms are slightly sweet, deeply savory, and packed with umami. The meaty, chewy texture makes them perfect for meat-free burgers, tacos or bruschetta.

Ingredients

  • ¾ pound pink oyster mushrooms

Oyster mushroom marinade

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 430 °F
  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a paper towel. Then use a sharp knife to remove any tough pieces of stem. Roughly tear large mushrooms and keep small mushrooms whole.
  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Then, drizzle it over the mushrooms and use your hands to coat the mushrooms in the marinade.
  • Transfer the pink mushroom mix to a parchment-lined baking tray that fits the mushrooms snugly. Spread the mushrooms out in an even layer for 10 minutes. Stir the mushrooms and return them to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes – or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. (You can stir, and return them to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes for more crispy bits – just keep a close eye on them.)
