Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the stems if needed.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Sauté the mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring, allowing them to brown and develop a rich flavor.
Stir the mushrooms and add the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Continue to cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and fully cooked.
Add the fresh thyme leaves and lemon juice to the skillet, tossing the mushrooms to coat them evenly.
Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the thyme is fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the mushrooms.
Serve immediately as a delicious low sodium side dish or use as a topping for your favorite main courses.
