Garlic Butter Soy Sauce Mushrooms

Garlic Butter Soy Sauce Mushrooms are coated in a balsamic and soy sauce glaze full of loads of fresh garlic. Roasted to perfection in the oven and then ready to serve with grilled meats, on pasta, or on their own. These savory mushrooms are a delicious crowd pleaser.

Bite-sized umami bombs! Who knew so few ingredients, could pack such a punch?

It's no secret that I am a mushroom lover. From sneaking ground mushrooms into burgers, to stuffing them with veggies, mushrooms are always welcome on my table.

And these soy sauce mushrooms are no different. They are super simple to prepare, just trim the mushrooms, prepare the sauce, and let the oven do all the work.

I love leaving these mushrooms whole or halved. It is something different ascetically, and as a bonus there is less prep work involved. You can certainly slice them if you prefer them that way!

This is great side dish that is just a little different but still very accessible and easy to enjoy. It's a great addition to a holiday gathering, as these roasted mushrooms go with just about anything and aren't at all difficult to make.

What type of mushrooms should you use?

I used cremini mushrooms. You may also see these called baby bellas. I find these to be very accessible and an even flavor. White button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, or oyster mushrooms would all work as well.

Ingredients for garlic butter soy sauce mushrooms

• 2 tbsp. butter
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 16 oz. cremini mushrooms left whole, stems trimmed

How to make roasted mushrooms

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Clean off any dirt or debris you may find on your mushrooms and then trim off the stems. For larger mushrooms, quarter them, and for smaller leave them whole or halved. Place into a baking dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, herbs de provence, and salt and pepper. Pour over top of the prepared mushrooms.

Cut butter into small pieces and place evenly on top of the sauce covered mushrooms.

Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Variations and Substitutions

• Add 1-2 tablespoons of honey to sweeten the sauce before pouring over the mushrooms.
• Use coconut aminos to make these mushrooms gluten free and soy free.
• Saute them instead of roasting. Add butter to a wide saute pan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms for 5 minutes and then pour sauce mixture over top. Cook for 5-10 more minutes allowing the sauce to reduce.
