Equipment
1 baking tray
1 mixing bowl
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200C / 395F / 180C fan forced. Line a large baking tray with foil.
Wash the mushrooms well, then lightly dry them. You can peel them if you prefer. Cut any larger ones in half so they're about 1 large bite size. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the miso paste and water until combined.
Add the oil, miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Whisk vigorously until smooth.
Add the mushrooms and mix well to coat evenly.
Lay the mushrooms out on the prepared baking tray, in a single layer, smooth side up.
Roast for 25-30 minutes until browned all over and the liquid that gets released in cooking has started thickening.
Sprinkle over the chopped chivesServe immediately.
Notes
I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (equal to 4 teaspoons).
Pick button mushrooms, swiss browns or cremini that are on the smaller side. Once roasted they’ll be the perfect one bite. Oyster mushrooms also work well.
Leftover miso paste will keep for 9-12 months in the fridge.
The time they need to roast will depend on the freshness and size of your mushrooms. What you’re looking for is mushrooms that still look plump and haven’t shrivelled and the juice in the liquid they release will have thickened a little.
These are great served with rice and chicken or alongside steak with some steamed green beans. I love serving them with this teriyaki salmon too.
