These crispy smashed mushrooms take up the flavors of sweet and tangy balsamic vinegar and savory Parmesan cheese. Making an X in each cap helps them smash evenly.

Ingredients

1 pound large mushrooms (12-14)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven: preheat to 450°F.
Wipe mushrooms clean and trim stems flush with caps. Score a 1/4-inch X across the cap of each mushroom. Place the mushrooms in a large bowl. Add oil, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper; toss until the oil is absorbed. Arrange the mushrooms, stem-side down, on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower rack until browned and very soft, 18 to 20 minutes.

When the mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven and turn the broiler to high. Turn the mushrooms stem-side up on the pan and use the bottom of a mason jar or sturdy glass to flatten each mushroom. Drizzle with vinegar and sprinkle with Parmesan. Broil on the upper rack until the mushrooms are crisped on the edges and the cheese has melted, 2 to 4 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
