Directions
- Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F.
- Step 2
On a rimmed sheet pan, toss the mushrooms with oil (they’ll absorb it). Sprinkle over the mushrooms: the salt, black pepper, and Cayenne pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread out so they’re not touching one another; otherwise, they’ll steam.
- Step 3
Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes in total, flipping once midway through, until they’re crispy and browned with just the slightest spot of chewiness remaining in the center.
