PORTOBELLO RECIPE - ROASTED MUSHROOMS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F. Clean the mushrooms. I like to rinse them with the gill side down, with a gentle water sprinkle on the top. Dry immediately with a paper towel. Many people worry that rinsing the mushrooms will water-log them. But for me, the fact that they grow on poo makes me want to give them a quick rinse. Or if you are cooler than me, just give them a wipe down with a dry paper towel.
• Pop off the stems and scrape the gills off the bottom the caps with a spoon.
• Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil and arrange mushrooms in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Flip mushrooms and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Slice mushrooms and drizzle just a bit of balsamic vinegar on top. If you are feeling wild, pour a small dish with additional vinegar for dipping.
• Enjoy!
