Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar

- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet, as this can cause the mushrooms to steam instead of roast.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the sliced mushrooms in a large bowl and pour the balsamic glaze over them. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the glaze has caramelized.
6. Serve hot and enjoy!
