Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them evenly. Thinly slice the onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, letting the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
