Ingredients:
2 pounds button mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
salt & pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and put the rack in the lowest position.
2. Prep the mushrooms: Wipe away any soil or dark spots with a damp paper towel. Remove and toss the stems, then cut the mushrooms in half.

4. Roast them on the bottom rack, turning them once or twice by shaking the pan or stirring with a spatula, until the mushrooms are tender and brown in spots, about 12-15 minutes.
5. Add lemon juice and more salt & pepper to taste.
