Start by cleaning the mushrooms using a damp cloth to wipe off any dirt. Avoid running them under water to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
Slice the mushrooms into 1/4 inch thick slices for even cooking.
In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the low-sodium vegetable broth over medium-high heat.
Once the broth is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer to ensure even cooking. If necessary, cook in batches.
Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the mushrooms and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their juices, about 8-10 minutes.
Halfway through cooking, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth to keep the mushrooms moist and add additional flavor without using oil.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve immediately as a side dish or a topping for steak, chicken, or pasta dishes.
