INGREDIENTS


  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • Step 1 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Step 2 - Combine 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt in a small bowl. Using a silicone brush, coat mushrooms all over with the oil mixture. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until the mushrooms are mostly soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
