Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms

Today, I felt like experimenting a bit with mushrooms - admittedly, I realized after the fact that everything I made for dinner was a shade of brown. #earthtonedinner

To try this recipe, you'll need
Baby bella or button mushrooms
2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Parsley (I used dried, but I'd recommend fresh to brighten the dish up)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
Red pepper flakes

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. I marinated the mushrooms for about half an hour before they went in the oven, so you have some time here. You may also want to line your baking dish with tinfoil, since the sugar in the maple syrup will caramelize a bit and you don't want it to burn to your pan.

Wash your mushrooms and then cut them into quarters. Add your mushrooms to a bowl. Mince the cloves of garlic fine and add them to the bowl, along with your chopped parsley, salt and red pepper flakes. Add your olive oil and toss until everything is well-coated.

In a small separate bowl, whisk the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, then add this to the mushroom mix. Let marinate for 30-60 minutes.

Transfer your mushrooms to the baking sheet and put it in the oven for 15 minutes, until golden brown but still firm.
