Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon almonds, chopped
  • zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage

Directions
  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork to combine.
  2. Chop the bacon into small pieces and pan-fry in a skillet over medium-high heat until brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Add the sage to the bacon grease and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it begins to crisp. Remove from the pan. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork to combine.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  4. Arrange the mushrooms in a roasting pan. Drizzle the mushrooms with the olive oil and rub thoroughly to coat.

Remove from the oven and serve warm.
