Marsala Roasted Mushrooms

With all the great flavor of marsala, these marsala roasted mushrooms are the perfect side dish to nearly any meal!

Ben and I love chicken marsala. Especially Ben. He’s one of those guys that orders the same thing every time we go to certain restaurants. I’m the opposite, I like to try something new every time. Sometimes I get in a rut after I have something that is so delicious that I can’t help but to order it every time. Then I’ll get antsy and feel like I need to try something else, which in those cases I end up regretting 75% of the time. So maybe Ben has the right idea – find something you love and stick with it. Don’t be swayed by new and fancy menu items. I’m always swayed. But I just love trying new things that catch my eye. (I will note that if you’re at a nicer restaurant, then you’re safer ordering something other than your standard fave. If it’s a not-so-great average chain restaurant, if you find something you love, it’s probably a good idea to stick with it.)

But he might be on to something with the chicken marsala. The flavors of the marsala wine, chicken, and mushrooms — yum. It’s such a classic and winner of a dish. But if I had to choose one thing – chicken or the mushrooms, I’d choose the mushrooms. I’m a huge mushroom lover, especially if they are roasted like in this recipe. So I decided to combine two of my favorite things: roasted mushrooms and marsala — and so these marsala roasted mushrooms were born.

It’s a super simple recipe and would be a great side dish to pretty much any meal. They’d also be great tossed on a salad. The greatest part of these mushrooms is that you don’t even have to dirty a bowl. Throw the mushrooms on your sheet pan, toss with the other ingredients and roast away in a super hot oven.

Verdict: Obsessed.

Husband’s take: He was eating these straight off the pan.

Changes I would make: None are necessary. These have a fairly mild marsala flavor, so if you do want to kick it up a notch, feel free to add more marsala cooking wine.

Difficulty: Super easy.
