Roasted Mushrooms with Spicy Breadcrumbs

These roasted mushrooms with spicy breadcrumbs offer a wonderful contrast of textures, combining earthy, tender fungi with a fiery, herbaceous crunch. By using a variety of mushrooms such as chestnut, oyster, and portobello, you create a complex depth of flavour that is heightened by the aromatic garlic and golden butter. The addition of fresh thyme and red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb topping provides a sophisticated heat that perfectly cuts through the richness of the roast.

This versatile vegetarian dish works beautifully as an elegant starter for a dinner party or as a substantial side alongside a Sunday roast. It is a quick and healthy way to elevate simple cupboard staples into something truly special. For the best results, use fresh breadcrumbs to ensure a light, crisp finish that stays crunchy when served over the succulent, garlicky mushrooms.

Ingredients for Roasted Mushrooms with Spicy Breadcrumbs

  • 350g mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, white button, portabella, king trumpet, and oyster)

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces

  • 110g coarse fresh breadcrumbs (from 2 slices white bread)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 232°C with rack in middle.

For white button or cremini mushrooms, halve lengthwise. For larger mushrooms such as portabella or king trumpets, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices. For oyster mushrooms, tear into small clumps.

Place mushrooms in a small roasting pan or rimmed sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil, garlic, 1/8 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon of the butter, cut into pieces, and roast in oven, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Add thyme and red pepper flakes and cook (there may be some popping), stirring frequently, until breadcrumbs are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

To serve, transfer hot roasted mushrooms to a platter and sprinkle with crumbs.
