Roasted Balsamic Baby Bella Mushrooms

I was gifted these Baby Bella Mushrooms so I thought I would cook them a different way, in the oven! This was my first time cooking mushrooms in the oven and I was very pleased with the results. I tossed the mushrooms in balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and red pepper flakes (optional) then I baked them. I took the leftover liquid in the pan and tossed it with some rice for a meal. You can use this recipe to bake with any type of mushroom as long as you adjust the time due to the size.

I couldn’t resist these huge Baby Bella Mushrooms.

Remove the stems and discard or save them
for another use. Rinse the dirt off of the
mushroom then pat dry with a paper towel.

In a bowl combine the rest of the ingredients.

Place a mushroom into the bowl coating
it well on both sides with the sauce,
place it on the pan and repeat.

Place the mushrooms onto a large baking
pan with the top of the mushroom facing up.

Bake in a preheated 400º oven for 10 minutes
then remove the pan and baste the
mushrooms with the liquid.

Bake another 10-15 minutes or until
cooked through, then baste again.

Remove the mushrooms from the pan then serve.
I used the liquid from the pan and tossed it with
about 3 cups of cooked rice to serve as a meal.

Oh I know those taste good! (But do you really have to remove the dirt? Wouldn’t that add additional flavor??!?! ha!) 😉

Ewwwww! 🤣 There would have been a whole lot of extra flavor in these. They say not to rinse the dirt just brush it off but I just can’t, I have to rinse them.

I absolutely love mushrooms, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. The sauce adds just enough flavor but doesn’t over power the mushroom flavor. Thank you Dorothy!

They are huge! At first glance in the photo I thought they were potatoes. Our neighbor made stuff portabellas once. She wanted to try them, bought two packages and shared. They were a meal in themselves so I see why you just added rice and had your meal, no meat needed.

There was a young woman with a basket at Council Point Park one morning and she came up to me and said she saw my bag and asked if I was collecting mushrooms. They were peanuts in the bag. I said “no” and had never seen people collect mushrooms since I began walking in 2013. Kind of surprised me. I’d buy them rather than chance what was edible or not but I’m a chicken. 🙂

Thank you! Baking them made it so simple. There wasn’t a ton of sauce but just enough to flavor the rice and to give me a complete meal. Thank you!
