Doneness
Edges are deeply browned and shrivelled; centres are tender; the basket has dried not pooled — all the released moisture should have evaporated.
Oil & seasoning
Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. A garlic-butter brush at the halfway mark adds depth.
Season with: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, balsamic vinegar (after cooking).
Watch out for
- Do not wash mushrooms — wipe them clean with a damp paper towel. Wet mushrooms steam instead of browning.
- Salt at the start (not the end) — salt draws out the moisture that needs to evaporate during the cook.
- Single layer. Mushrooms release a lot of moisture and stacked mushrooms steam each other into mush.
