On their own, roasted mushrooms are golden, buttery, and delicious, but we've gone a step further and jazzed them up by showering them with a blanket of crunchy, chile-flecked breadcrumbs.
•Breadcrumb mixture (without parsley) can be made 3 days ahead and kept chilled in an airtight container. To re-warm, sprinkle crumbs on mushrooms during last few minutes of roasting, then sprinkle with parsley.
•Mushrooms can be cut and tossed with seasonings 3 hours ahead and chilled in pan, covered with plastic wrap. Top with butter before roasting.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
Step 2
For white button or cremini mushrooms, halve lengthwise. For larger mushrooms such as portabella or king trumpets, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices. For oyster mushrooms, tear into small clumps.
Step 3
Place mushrooms in a small roasting pan or rimmed sheet pan and toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil, garlic, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon of the butter, cut into pieces, and roast in oven, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Add thyme and red pepper flakes and cook (there may be some popping), stirring frequently, until breadcrumbs are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.
Step 5
To serve, transfer hot roasted mushrooms to a platter and sprinkle with crumbs.
