Easy + Delicious One Pan Side Dish
Delicious side dish staples are tough to come by. Often they take a little bit of fuss that I don’t want to deal with and/or it’s a side salad which, let’s be real, isn’t very exciting.
Side salad: I’m just not that into you. There, I said it.
Anyway pair said side salad with Easy Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms and you’ve got yourself one heck of an epic dinner accompanying duo.
Whole mushrooms are topped with melted garlic butter then sent into the oven to roast until tender on the inside, and slightly crisp on top.
Trust me when I tell you to make a double batch!
How to Make Easy Garlic Butter Roasted Mushrooms
Start with a 16oz container whole mushrooms – baby bellas, white, or otherwise – they all roast up deliciously.
Gently wash away the dirt on the outside of the mushrooms then trim the stems to be flush with the caps and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Add 1/4 cup butter and 4 cloves minced garlic to a small dish then microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. I adore garlic so four cloves is the right amount for me, but if you’re a little sensitive I’d go with two or three.
I’ve also made this dish with vegan butter, and it’s just as delicious!
While you’re washing and prepping the mushrooms, pop a large cast iron skillet into the oven then preheat it to 400 degrees. The hot skillet causes the bottoms of the mushrooms to sizzle when placed inside, giving them a good sear from the get go.
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you can use a pie pan or baking dish. You won’t need to preheat those first though.
Place the mushrooms into the preheated skillet stem side up then spoon the garlic butter on top, taking care to try and contain the garlic to the top of the mushrooms vs letting it fall down into the skillet or pan which could cause it to burn in the oven.
Season with salt and pepper then roast for 25-30 minutes, basting the mushrooms with the butter in the bottom of the skillet halfway through.

- Place a large cast iron skillet into the oven then preheat oven to 400 degrees. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet you can use a pie pan or casserole dish – do not preheat either of those.
- Wash and dry the mushrooms then trim the stems so they are flush with the cap of the mushroom.
- Add butter and garlic to a small dish then microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Place mushrooms stem side up in the preheated skillet (or baking dish if using). Spoon the garlic butter over each cap, taking care to get garlic on the mushroom vs skillet or baking dish or the garlic can burn. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper then roast for 25-30 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender, basting with the butter in the bottom of the skillet halfway through. Serve immediately.

Thats what I’m taking bout’. Making these lovely mouthfuls now. Thanks for the easy recipe. Subbing out the oven for my air fryer so I can contain it all!!
I wanted to print off your easy garlic butter mushrooms recipe and did up with wasting eight pages of me just to try to get a simple recipe
Hi Kathy, you need to click the pink “print recipe” button vs your browser’s print function.
Y’all, these are our favorite side dish. However many you think you will need to make, double it. Every time I make these, my spouse and I stare at our plates sadly, and always agree I should have doubled it. I make it exactly as written.
??? Oh my gosh, I am so happy to hear this, Christy!! Thank you so much for your feedback and recipe rating!
Gave it a try with Baby Bella mushrooms and in a cast iron skillet in the oven at 400 degrees. Used butter and fresh garlic. Pretty good, but after 15 minutes I covered them with cheddar cheese and returned them to the oven for ten more minutes. 25 minute total as suggested. Next time I’m going to pull the stems rather than cut them off even and then oil the hollows with bacon bits first. My brother and daughter in law were over and also were pleased with them. Nice simple recipe. Thanks.
My dad who does not particularly like mushrooms. I make them for his wife, loved these and recently asked for them again. Thank you for helping me extend his palette ?
LOOOOVE mushrooms. And GARLIC. Hahahahaha. Will be making these.
Hi there! In this photo you show a lemon chicken dish that I’ve loved making from your site. For some reason, I can no longer find the recipe! Is it still available? If so, I’d love to have it again! Many thanks!
Do you really cook these in a cast iron skillet at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes? I want to make them NOW! I thought they’d be done in a few minutes!
Yes!
Just made these mushrooms, they are delicious!!! Thanks Kristin!!!
I made these yesterday and served them with prime rib for a family dinner. They were amazing and I should’ve made a double batch because they were gone immediately. Thank for the recipe.
I made these the other night with ribeye steak and they were delicious, all browned, buttery and garlicky. Then I used the leftover on a pizza tonight. The garlic melted into the cheese and it was out of this world.
More side dishes like this please!!!!
I made these on my bacon baking pan in the oven for our steaks , they are amazing.
