This super simple treatment for mushrooms marinates them in soy, honey and more flavorful ingredients to pack them with deep umami and give them a slick glaze. Serve as part of a grain bowl, on salads or in sandwiches.

Make ahead: The mushrooms need to be marinated for at least 1 hour and up to overnight before cooking.

Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Directions

Time Icon Active: 5 mins| Total: 30 mins, plus 1 hour for marinating

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oil, honey, smoked paprika, bay leaves and garlic until combined.

  • Step 2

    Tear or cut the mushrooms in half lengthwise if they’re very large, or otherwise into large bite-size pieces. Add them to the marinade, stir to coat and cover the bowl with a wide plate. Marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.

  • Step 3

    Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

  • Step 4

    Pour the mushrooms and marinade onto the sheet pan. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the liquid bubbles and reduces to a glaze and the mushrooms are deeply brown and almost charred on the edges. Pick out and discard the bay leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    • Substitutions

    No oyster mushrooms? >> Use fresh shiitake caps (discard the stems or save for Scrappy Vegetable Stock), cremini or any other favorite fungi, which may change the cooking time. Gluten-free? >> Use tamari instead of soy sauce. Honey >> agave nectar.
