What are oven mushrooms?
Oven mushrooms, also known as roasted or baked mushrooms, are a meaty, intensely flavorful dish prepared by drizzling fresh mushrooms with a garlic and herb infused butter and then baking them in the oven until fragrant and tender.
You can serve the oven roasted mushroom classically as an appetizer or side dish; however, they’re also delicious as a topping for toast, steaks and potatoes. Plus, warm mushrooms are a fantastic addition to salads and pizza!
FAQs: fresh mushrooms for roasting
How to pick the best mushrooms at the store?
Shopping for mushrooms at the grocery store is easy once you know exactly what to look for! Follow these simple tips for purchasing the best mushrooms:
- Look for mushrooms that are firm with a smooth appearance and no brown spots. Avoid pressing on the mushrooms too hard when checking for firmness or you will bruise them.
- The mushrooms surface should be dry and not damp, nor should they be shriveled and dried out.
- Fresh mushrooms should appear plump and fresh.
- Check the underside of the mushroom cap. If you are looking for a delicate flavor, choose mushrooms with a closed veil and hidden gills under the mushroom cap. For a richer flavor, select mushrooms with an open veil and exposed gills under the cap.
How to store fresh mushrooms?
Once you have selected the perfect mushrooms at the store, it is important they are properly stored.
Fresh mushrooms should be stored unwashed in their original packaging in the refrigerator.
If you purchased loose fresh mushrooms at the store, transfer them to a brown paper bag or storage container with the lid propped open for ventilation before storing them in the refrigerator.
Fresh mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Pro-tip #1: Fresh mushrooms need to breathe, so do not place mushrooms in an air-tight container!
Pro-tip #2: Do not clean mushrooms until you are ready to use them!
How to prepare mushrooms for oven roasting?
Once you are ready to cook mushrooms, avoid rinsing them under running water! Soaking fresh mushrooms with water can cause them to turn rubbery and slimy once cooked. To properly clean mushrooms, use a damp paper towel to gently brush off any dirt or debris.
Also, make sure you trim the bottom of the mushroom stems. (For shiitake mushrooms, remove the stems completely as they are tough in texture.)
How to make roasted mushrooms in oven?
Garlic butter oven roasted mushrooms are incredibly easy to make! With just a handful of ingredients and a large, rimmed baking dish, you can prepare restaurant-quality mushrooms at home!

- Partially roast: Place mushrooms and onions in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- While the mushrooms are roasting, make the butter sauce: In a large, microwave-safe liquid measuring cup, combine butter, wine, garlic, thyme and oregano. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Microwave at 1 for 1 minute. Stir and microwave again for 1 ½ in 30 second increments. (SEE NOTES)

Storing mushrooms roasted
How long do roasted mushrooms last?
Once mushrooms are oven baked, allow them to cool completely to room temperature. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or resealable bag. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
Can you freeze oven roasted mushrooms?
This roasted mushrooms recipe freeze beautifully!
To freeze, allow cooked mushrooms to cool completely. Next, transfer mushrooms to a wax paper lined baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and flash freeze for 1-3 hours or until completely frozen. Transfer frozen mushrooms to a freezer-safe airtight container and store in the freezer for up to nine months.
To use frozen cooked mushrooms, remove them from the freezer, but do not thaw. Add frozen mushrooms directly to a dish or recipe that will be heated or cooked, such as soups, stews, casseroles or sauces. Alternatively, oven baked mushrooms can be reheated – see below for instructions.
Can I reheat mushrooms after baking?
Despite what a lot of critics say, you can safely reheat mushrooms – as long as they were properly stored!
If you placed your mushrooms in the freezer, you must thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
To reheat oven cooked mushrooms, first melt a pat of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently. Cook the ‘shrooms until they are just warm throughout, about 3 minutes.

- 2 TBS Olive Oil
- Sea Salt & Ground Black Pepper
- 5 TBS Unsalted Butter – cubed
- 1/3 Cup Good Dry White Wine
- 2-3 cloves Garlic - minced
- 2 tsp EACH: Fresh Thyme & Fresh Oregano – chopped, plus more sprigs for roasting
Garnish: Fresh Parsley/Thyme, Lemon Wedges
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Season mushrooms: Place mushrooms and onions on a large, rimmed baking dish. Toss with oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer, with the mushrooms facing stem side down. Add 4 sprigs of fresh thyme and 2 sprigs of rosemary to the baking dish.
- Partially roast: Place mushrooms and onions in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- While the mushrooms are roasting, make the butter sauce: (SEE NOTES) In a large, microwave-safe liquid measuring cup, combine butter, wine, garlic, thyme and oregano. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Microwave at 1 for 1 minute. Stir and microwave again for 1 ½ in 30 second increments.

Notes
- When selecting mushrooms, make sure you pick ones that are roughly the same size for even cooking!
- If you can’t find pearl onions or simple don’t like them, feel free to substitute 8 ounces of thickly sliced shallots instead! Alternatively, you can omit the onions completely and use an extra 8 ounces of mushrooms!
- When making the butter sauce in the microwave, be very careful! The wine and butter mixture will bubble up when it is heating, so make sure you are using a large measuring cup and microwave in short increments! I recommend at least a 2 cup liquid measuring cup. Alternatively, you can melt the butter with wine, garlic and seasonings on the stove-top!

Cheyanne, Made this recipe with Portobello mushrooms, did not have enough pearl onions so substituted sliced shallots. Grow my own herbs therefore had plenty.
The best baked mushrooms ever. Now I know I can freeze them to! Being a vegetarian, it was the main course, very satisfying. Better than any marinated mushrooms ever. I am learning to think like a chef.
I appreciated all the mushroom pro tips and the nutrition information.
