I love the earthy umami flavor of mushrooms. This recipe really highlights it by roasting the shrooms in butter and adding complementary salty and tart flavors to help the earthiness shine. A delicious sauce forms as the mushrooms roast, which can be soaked up with bread or potatoes. We had a low carb dinner of roasted shrooms and egg salad, so I ended up drinking the sauce since I didn’t have anything to soak it up. It was scrumptious!

Mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses because they are low calorie, fat free, and contain lots of vitamins and minerals, including ones that aren’t abundant elsewhere. The photos did not turn out great this time, but I decided to share anyway. We’ve been eating a lot of mushrooms lately because we have a great local, organic source. I’ve got many recipes for them, although this time I just craved a simple roast. I hope you will try this very easy, very tasty recipe.
