Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups button mushrooms
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Cut larger tomatoes in half, but leave smaller ones whole for visual variety.

Step 2

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them evenly to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes to the pan and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherry tomatoes soften and begin to burst, creating a light sauce that coats the mushrooms.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat.

Step 10

Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or use as a topping for pasta, rice, or grilled protein.
