Mushrooms pose a real dilemma in healthy cooking. Because they are so porous, they soak up fat like a sponge when sautéed in the traditional manner.
Roasting mushrooms with a little bit of oil with a slightly browned exterior duplicates the delicious effects of sautéing with minimum fat and effort.

Always buy mushrooms without bruises or black spots and avoid those that are wrinkled or dried out. Store mushrooms for up to 3 days in a paper bag in the refrigerator. Rinse quickly or use a soft brush to remove any dirt and trim off the tough stem ends. Don’t immerse in water as mushrooms absorb water liquid rapidly. Small mushrooms can be cooked whole, larger once are normally halved, quartered or sliced. To stuff large mushrooms always pre-bake them for 20 minutes with pulled off stalks as to remove the excess water.
Cultivated button and open mushrooms are widely available.
