🔵 Step 1: Prep the Mushrooms
Clean your mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove dirt—avoid rinsing under water to prevent sogginess. Trim stems and slice evenly for uniform cooking. -

Add sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally to enhance sweetness. -
🔵 Step 4: Add Garlic and Season
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. -
🔵 Step 5: Finish with Fresh Herbs and Lemon
Remove from heat. Add chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice for freshness and brightness. -
🔵 Step 6: Serve Warm
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm. Perfect with grilled meats, pasta, or as a flavorful side for any meal.
