Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat, then spread them out again so no pieces overlap.

Roast the mushrooms for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are deeply browned and crisp and the pieces have shrunk by about half.
