Rinse and dry the mushrooms, then trim the stems. Leave small mushrooms whole (1 to 1 1/2-inch), halve medium-sized (1 1/2 to 2-inches), and quarter large-sized (larger than 2-inches).
In a large bowl, combine mushrooms, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
In a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the seasoned mushrooms evenly in the pan. Roast until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove the mushrooms from the oven and carefully stir with a spatula.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and thyme.
Pour the butter mixture over the roasted mushrooms. Stir to combine and roast until garlic is fragrant and the sauce reduces, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer mushrooms to a serving platter and garnish with parsley and black pepper.
