Simple & Savory Shiitakes
Serves: 3 | 5 Minute Prep Time | 15 Minutes to Cook
Shiitakes + shallots + fresh thyme are one of our favorite umami throuples! Umami is the fifth basic taste after sweet, salty, bitter and sour – it’s that flavor that makes foods feel savory and satisfying. Good shiitakes do that, and when roasted together with other umami foods like shallots and thyme, it’s love all the way around.
Like all our veg dishes, this recipe is about treating fresh ingredients with little fuss to bring out the best and most natural flavors.
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Thinly slice 1 large shallot and chop 1 tbsp fresh parsley.
- Remove tough stem from shiitakes and clean with a damp paper towel.
- Toss with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp of chopped fresh thyme and salt/pepper to taste.
- Roast for 10 – 12 minutes and enjoy.
