Roast vegetables fill out any fall spread, but a dose of extra-savory herb compound butter (like you'd slather over snails) makes them special.

¹⁄₂ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tbsp. finely grated lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350°. In a food processor, combine the butter with the parsley, lemon zest, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and blend the escargot butter until smooth.

Step 2

Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let the croutons cool. Increase the oven temperature to 425°.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms with 1⁄4 cup of the escargot butter, and then arrange in a large roasting pan. Roast the mushrooms, tossing halfway through cooking, until they release their liquid and begin to caramelize, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Stir the remaining escargot butter into the mushrooms and then transfer to a serving dish and top with the croutons.
