6. Place tossed mushrooms on baking tray in a single layer.
7. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, turn around in between.

Note:
- If want more crispy texture then set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place a paper towel at the bottom of the container so that it may absorb any moisture otherwise mushrooms would become soggy.
- In any case, if they get soggy put them back on baking tray in oven, they would be crispy again.
