White mushrooms are not a popular vegetable in where I am from, Hong Kong. I will definitely miss this wonderful dish if I ever have to leave Canada <3.
Here are what you need to perpare this dish:
Fresh ,white mushroom 227g / 1 pack
Garlic, minced 2 cloves
Olive oil ( or other types of cooking oils) 1 Tbsp (15 mL)
Slat and pepper pinch to taste
Feel free to add anything for garnish.
Here I used a leaf of lettuce, and lemon zest.
Almond and other nuts are also a good choice adding more variety colour to the dish!
Cooking Methods:
1) Pre-heat oven at 350F.
2) Wash and rinse mushrooms, eat into quarters or leave it a whole if you would like.
3) Mix oil and minced garlic, and mix with mushroom.
4) Put in oven for about 8 mins or until it is tender!
Tips: There is no need to spray the tray with oil.
Health Benefit:
-It is recommended to use olive oil, or use sliced olive as garnish. Numerous stidies have been proven the benefits of consuming olive oils or olived on health. As little as 2 tablespoons or 30 mL of olive oils may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, and may have a positive effect on healt, which include decreae the risk of cardiovascular dieases, type 2 diabetes, storke and cancer, and others.
-Mushroom is a source of dietary fiber, and is low in sodium. It is sure a healthy altnerative snack!
If you are a oliver hater, like me, you can consume olive oil instead of olive. I found that olive oil doesn't has the nature olive smells and taste. Try to add or replace cooking oil with olive oil today!
