Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the mushrooms and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If using larger mushrooms like royal trumpet or maitake, you may need to tear them into smaller pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms with grapeseed oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until they begin to brown and release their moisture.
- While the mushrooms are roasting, prepare the flavoring. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, sliced shallots, olive oil, chopped thyme, cayenne pepper, and red wine vinegar. Stir well.
- Once the mushrooms have roasted for the initial time, remove them from the oven and add the shallot mixture. Toss everything together to coat the mushrooms evenly.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly caramelized, and the shallots are softened.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. This dish can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the oven.
