Simple Parmesan Mushrooms

I often say mushrooms are my favorite vegetable, even though they are actually a fungus. No one is going to like you if you go around talking about your favorite fungus. Mushrooms are amazing, though, and we need to eat more of them. At least four times a week, I say. This is a super simple and very satisfying side dish to throw together when you don't have a lot of time or energy.

Simple Parmesan Mushrooms

What You'll Need:

2 small packages sliced mushrooms (about 1.5 lbs)
Olive oil, for drizzling
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 cup grated or shaved Parmesan (or more- I won't judge)
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

How to Make It: 

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet, or spray it with nonstick spray. Rinse the mushrooms and pat them dry with paper towels, then transfer them to the baking sheet. Drizzle with a generous glug of olive oil (about 3-4 tbsp), and sprinkle with the garlic, thyme, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Toss the mushrooms to coat and combine. Bake them for about 12-15 minutes, until tender. Serve them immediately.
