Ingredients

24 tablespoon small button mushrooms 

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove stems from the mushrooms and reserve if used in filling. Use a damp cloth or mushroom brush to clean mushrooms. Brush each mushroom cap with the olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Place the mushrooms, cap side up, on a baking sheet. Roast until the mushrooms are golden and their liquid begins to seep from the cavity, 6 to 7 minutes. Place cap side up on paper towels to drain. The mushroom caps can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 hours.
