Mushrooms come in many shapes and sizes but for this recipe, I like to use white button mushrooms. They have a mild flavor and can be eaten raw or cooked. White button mushrooms are a nice addition to salads, soups, stir-fry, omelets, and pizza.
Here Are Some Great Reasons To Eat Mushrooms:
- Beneficial to your brain, skin, and bones.
- Great source of ergothioneine and glutathione, two antioxidants that work together to protect our bodies from physiological stress.
- Rich in B vitamins
- Low in fat and calories
To Make These Garlic Roasted Mushroom Appetizers You Will Need These Ingredients:
- Medium fresh white button mushrooms
- Fresh garlic
- Olive oil
- Butter ~ dairy-free for vegan
- Dried thyme
- Semi soft sheep cheese ~ use a dairy-free cheese for vegan
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Coconut aminos ~ optional add-in
Roasted mushrooms are fantastic served warm as appetizers but also great as a side with steak.
These little savory gems are even good cold!
Halloumi cheese is my very favorite sheep cheese. It melts nicely and can even be fried, which is absolutely addicting. Just cut into strips and fry to crispy perfection. Then dip the fried strips in some warm marinara. Try it, and you will see what I am talking about!!
It’s a little spendy but well worth the splurge!!
Enjoy!
