Start with a Sizzle: Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. This sets the stage for perfectly sautéed mushrooms with a golden hue.

Sauté the Champignons: Place the mushrooms in the pan in a single layer if you can. Let them sit undisturbed for a few minutes to achieve a gorgeous golden sear, stirring occasionally for even cooking. This should take around 5-7 minutes.

Garlic Makes Its Mark: When the mushrooms are beautifully browned and nearly done, stir in the minced garlic. Cook it until just aromatic, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it to avoid any bitterness.

Season and Serve: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your mushrooms, stirring well to marry the flavors perfectly.

Garnish and Dig In: Place the mushrooms on a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley for an extra pop of color and freshness.
