Roasted Shiitake with Feta

This dish has a Mediterranean taste that would be right at home in a mezze-style meal. You could pair it with tabbouleh, hummus, pita, olives, dolmas, and roasted eggplant.

• Shiitakes, stems removed

• Olive oil

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Garlic powder

• Feta, crumbled

• Fresh zaatar, roughly chopped (or other herb, like parsley or thyme)

• Lemon juice

1. Preheat the oven to 400.

2. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Toss shiitake caps with just enough olive oil to lightly coat them.

4. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. 

5. Put shiitakes on the baking sheet in a single layer, with either all caps or gills up.

6. Roast at 400 for 10 minutes.

7. Flip shiitakes over. Continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes.

8. Remove shiitakes from the oven and put into a bowl.

9. Toss with feta, fresh zaatar, and lemon juice to taste.
