Recipe video above. Here's a simple, incredibly delicious way to roast mushrooms: tossed in garlic butter then roasted on a high temp to make them golden brown on the outside whilst keeping them juicy on the inside. The addition of olive oil stops the butter from burning and also adds a touch of extra flavour - but the dominant flavour is still butter (and garlic!). The lemon and thyme finishing touch is optional - it's terrific plain - it's an extra flavour option.Serves 2 as a main, 4 - 5 as a side.

- (Video here for large mushrooms) Place mushrooms cap side down (ie stems facing up) in a medium baking dish (so they are kind of snug - they shrink).
- Spoon 1 tsp of butter over each mushroom, then use the rest to brush the edges (or carefully drizzle over edges).
- Drizzle over olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes (tender but still a slight firmness) or 25 minutes (tender) - no turning. There will be juices in the pan and plenty pooled in the mushrooms caps.
- Squeeze over a bit of lemon juice, sprinkle with thyme. Serve mushrooms, drizzled with pan juices (see notes for serving suggestions).
