| Main Ingredients | Notes |
|---|---|
| 1 lb mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake) | Slice evenly for uniform cooking |
| 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter) | Adds richness and helps achieve caramelization |
| 3 cloves garlic, minced | For a bold, aromatic flavor |
| 1 tbsp fresh parsley (or thyme/rosemary) | Adds freshness and depth |
| Salt and black pepper | Season to taste |
| Optional: splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar | Brings brightness and balance |
| Optional: grated Parmesan cheese | For a deliciously savory finish |
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and slice them evenly.
Mince the garlic and finely chop your choice of herbs.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes to develop a deep color.
Stir occasionally and continue to cook for another 3–5 minutes, until they’re well browned and tender.
Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant—avoid browning the garlic.
Stir in the fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Optional: Deglaze the pan with a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavor and lift any caramelized bits.
Transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan for extra depth and creaminess.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or topping—perfect with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, pasta, or crusty bread.
These Garlic Herb Sautéed Mushrooms combine richness, fragrance, and simplicity in every bite. They’re quick to prepare yet full of restaurant-worthy flavor—a perfect companion for any meal, from casual dinners to special celebrations.
