Ingredients

• 500 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
• 6 stalks Scallions
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel and trimming the stems, if necessary. Cut larger mushrooms in half to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 3

Trim the ends of the scallions and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Set both the mushrooms and scallions aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt (if desired).

Step 5

Add the mushrooms and scallions to the bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 6

Spread the mushroom and scallion mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the mushrooms are tender and caramelized and the scallions are slightly charred at the edges.

Step 8

Remove the roasting pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the sesame seeds over the hot mushrooms and scallions for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
