- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
- 1 teaspoon Seasoning Salt or kosher or sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, fresh lemon juice, or soy sauce (optional)
- TO ROAST THE MUSHROOM CAPS:
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Remove the stems from the mushrooms and wipe the caps clean, lightly oil a baking pan with some of the olive oil.
- Rub the remaining oil into the tops of the caps.
- Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Place the caps, gill side up, on the baking pan.
- Roast for 10 minutes.
- Turn and roast until the mushrooms are tender and well browned, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the mushrooms with vinegar, if desired.
- Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
- TO GRILL THE MUSHROOM CAPS:
- Preheat a grill to hot.
- Rub the oil into all sides of the mushroom caps.
- (You may need a little more than 2 tablespoons oil for this.)
- Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Place the mushrooms, gill side up, near the coolest part of the fire.
- Grill the caps until well marked and brown, about 8 minutes.
- Turn the caps and continue grilling until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.
