700 g

extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp
balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or 180°C for fan-forced ovens.

Place the whole mushrooms into a roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to ensure they are well coated. Add the salt, black pepper, fresh thyme sprigs, minced garlic, and smashed garlic cloves, then toss once more to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Roast the mushrooms for approximately 35 minutes. Be sure to toss them well at the 20-minute mark. Roast until they are tender, browned, and have shrunk slightly.

While the mushrooms are still piping hot, transfer them and all the flavorful pan juices into a mixing bowl. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and an additional splash of olive oil, then toss thoroughly.

Allow the mushrooms to cool and marinate at room temperature for at least 2 hours. For the most intense flavor, cover the bowl and let them marinate in the refrigerator overnight once they have cooled completely.
