Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Clean the cremini mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 4

Chop the fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley finely. Keep them separated as the parsley will be used at the end.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and extra virgin olive oil. Zest half of the lemon and add the zest to the mixture.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the herb-oil mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the coated mushrooms to a baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer.

Step 8

Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and just golden brown.

Step 10

While the mushrooms are baking, crumble the feta cheese, and finely chop the parsley leaves.

Step 11

Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 12

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the warm mushrooms.

Step 13

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a light appetizer.
