Ingredients

• 1 pound mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake), sliced evenly

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary, chopped

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Optional: a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar

• Optional: grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Prep Your Ingredients
Clean the mushrooms and slice them evenly. Mince the garlic and chop the herbs.

2. Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to develop color. Stir occasionally and continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, until browned and tender.

3. Add the Garlic and Herbs
Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant—avoid browning. Stir in the fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. If desired, deglaze the pan with a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar to lift the flavor.

4. Finish and Serve
Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired. Serve warm as a flavorful side or topping for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, pasta, or crusty bread.
