# Ingredients Needed:

03 -
20 garlic confit cloves or 6 raw garlic cloves, finely minced
04 -
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
05 -

# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 120°C (250°F). Peel the garlic by soaking the cloves in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and remove the skins. Place peeled cloves in an ovenproof dish and completely submerge them in olive oil. Bake for 2 hours or until soft and golden.
02 -
In a small pot over low heat, combine garlic confit, butter, and thyme. Stir until the butter melts and everything is well mixed. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals for 2 minutes, stirring each time.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine the garlic butter mixture with mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Stir gently to coat mushrooms evenly.
04 -
Preheat oven to 220°C (450°F). Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 25 minutes without stirring.
05 -
Remove the tray from the oven. Squeeze lemon juice over the mushrooms and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties like cremini, shiitake, or button.
02 -
Avoid washing mushrooms under water; instead, wipe them clean with a damp towel to preserve texture.
