Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp paper towel to gently remove any dirt from the button mushrooms. Avoid rinsing them under water to prevent them from absorbing moisture.
Slice the garlic cloves thinly and chop the fresh parsley finely. Set these aside for later use.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and sauté it for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic as it can become bitter.
Add the cleaned mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them well to coat with the garlic-infused oil. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
Season the mushrooms with freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Add the lemon juice to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms.
Serve the garlic mushrooms warm as a side dish or an appetizer. Enjoy this flavorful, low sodium dish!
