Toss the mushrooms well ensuring that everything is coated. Place the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are deeply golden.

Peel the avocado and remove the stone. Place the avocado flesh in a small bowl, crushing it with a fork—season with sea salt and lime juice.
Serving mushroom tacos
Lay the tortillas on the worktop and spread some of the mashed avocado down the middle of the tortilla. Place the roasted mushrooms on top and spoon over the pineapple salsa, crumbled feta and some freshly chopped coriander.
Notes
Notes- Leave the mushrooms whole when roasting. This ensures minimum shrinkage.
