Hot & Spicy Mushrooms

I bought too many mushrooms, and even though I love mushrooms plain, I wanted to do something more interesting with them... I just tossed in most of the "hot" spices I could find! The first bite wasn't too bad -- but by the time I was done, I definitely could feel the fire.

• Ready In: 22 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 8  ounces  fresh button mushrooms, rinsed
• 1⁄4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  cajun seasoning
• 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
• 1  tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. Combine all of the ingredients except for the mushrooms in a plastic freezer bag and mix to combine.
3. Dump the mushrooms into the bag and turn to make sure all of the mushrooms are evenly coated. (If you want it hotter, you can cut the mushrooms in halves or quarters to give you a greater surface area for the spices.).
4. Pour the mushrooms (along with the remaining spice mixture) into a pan lined with foil. (I used an 8" loaf pan.).
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until mushrooms start releasing liquid, stirring once or twice.
