These Balsamic Garlic Roasted Mushrooms are out-of-this-world delicious and flavorful, and they are a perfect side dish to any meal. Make them for the holidays because they cater to so many dietary needs and takes less than 20 minutes to make!
I have a love/hate relationship with the holiday season. I looove all the Christmas decorations and lights and seeing my family, but the stress of traveling, gift giving, and hosting can be a bit much. On top of that, it is the busiest time of the year in the blogging world.
HOWEVER, I do love the food that comes with all of it, especially all the delicious side dishes and desserts. And I can’t wait to serve these Balsamic Garlic Roasted Mushrooms over Christmas for my family because they came out freakin’ fantastic!
Balsamic Garlic Roasted Mushrooms Recipe
I’ve made these roasted mushrooms several times before and they are always a hit and one of my favorite sides to serve. They are so simple and easy to make, but the end result looks so gorgeous on the table and the flavor is just unbeatable from the umami of balsamic vinegar and the smokiness of garlic and thyme.
Great For a Potluck!
I love to serve these for holiday dinners and get-togethers, but they also do extremely well at potlucks because they travel so well and taste great warm or at room temperature. On top of that, these Balsamic Garlic Roasted Mushrooms cater to so many dietary needs if you are serving people with food restrictions or allergies.
Not only are they gluten and dairy free, they are also low carb, vegan, and even AIP-friendly! My mom tries to follow the autoimmune protocol, which is why this dish always gets made when we are together, AND because everyone always raves about them!
Keeping it AIP-friendly
There are only a few easy modifications you need to make to make this recipe AIP-friendly. Just substitute the cooking oil with coconut oil instead of ghee, and omit the ground black pepper. That’s it! It’s quite easy to cater to so many dietary needs when you are cooking with real food, and making a side dish like this for a big dinner ensures that everyone has a little bit of something to eat.
Don’t these photos make you drool? I need stop editing photos when I’m hungry because it always makes me want to eat what I shot. Good thing these Balsamic Garlic Roasted Mushrooms only take less than 20 minutes to make!

Classic!! Thyme is definitely my ‘go-to’ herb to accompany mushrooms.
Love that these come together so quickly and, agreed.. these could disappear quickly!
My husband and son are the big mushroom-fanatics in our house. They are going to FREAK over this because I rarely make mushrooms for them! Great recipe!
My oldest and I can POUND the mushrooms down! She will love this fun app or side dish! Thank you!
These mushrooms look so plump and just perfect! I love mushrooms in any way shape or form so definitely pinning this to make as a side dish over the festive season!
Oh, these mushrooms do look good! I’ve been trying to decide what to bring to a potluck dinner next week, and now I’ve found it! My husband isn’t a big fan of mushrooms, but I love them. This will be my opportunity to enjoy them and share them with friends who I’m sure will be impressed.
Separate sides of mushrooms like this are about the only way I get to enjoy my love of all things mushroom…so this is a perfect option for me!
I simply adore mushrooms. This balsamic glaze ups the ante. Can’t wait to try.
These mushrooms are perfection! Love that you leave the stems on too. Oh and with the ghee heavenly!
I made some last night and people loved it. The oven was a bit smokey while cooking.
Yay! Haha yeah, mushrooms sweat a lot when you cook them so that could happen. Hopefully it didn’t set off the smoke detector! 🙂
I love roasted mushrooms! And everything savory is better with garlic, so I’m sure these are delicious!

I absolutely love your recipe! I am writing vegetarian recipe round ups on my blog in 2019 for people who are trying to make more meat-free meals (everyone has to start somewhere). I would love to feature you. You can check out my blog (for beginner environmentalists) at sunshineguerrilla.com. Is it alright if I share this link to your recipe?
Hi Barbara – that’s okay with me, as long as you don’t share the actual recipe and just link to it. Thanks so much for checking!
So delicious and easy! I even tried these in my Ninja Foodi on the air fry setting and stirred a few times. Wonderful! I plan to double the recipe the next time I make it. Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea to use the air fryer. I have to try that. Thanks for leaving a review!
