Oven Roasted Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Wash and thoroughly dry 2 pints of whole, Crimini mushrooms.

Toss the mushrooms in a large bowl with:

4 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
1 minced shallot
2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
a few twists of fresh cracked, black pepper

Arrange the mushrooms, cap down on a greased baking sheet.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the mushrooms darken and your house smells wonderful.

I served mine on a bed of arugula with a little parmesan cheese, minced tomato and a bit of parsley.  You may eat them as is, or they make a great side dish.

If you try it, feel free to drop me a line and let me know how it turns out.
