Ingredients
  

2 pounds fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button), thoroughly cleaned and halved

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

6 cloves garlic, minced finely

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a hint of smokiness)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large mixing bowl, place the cleaned and halved mushrooms. Pour the melted butter over them. Toss gently to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the butter.

    Mix the Seasonings: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), soy sauce, lemon juice, along with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. This will create a fragrant seasoning blend.

      Combine Ingredients: Drizzle the garlic mixture over the butter-coated mushrooms. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold the mixture gently so that all mushrooms are well-seasoned and coated in the flavorful blend.

        Slow Cook: Transfer the seasoned mushrooms into the slow cooker. Cover the lid and cook on the low setting for about 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. If possible, give them a gentle stir every hour to enhance even cooking.

          Check for Doneness: Once the cooking time is up, check the mushrooms. They should be tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.

            Serve: Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the mushrooms to a charming serving dish. Remember to drizzle over any remaining flavorful liquid from the slow cooker for an extra boost of flavor.

              Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness. These savory garlic butter mushrooms make a delightful side dish or an indulgent topping for steak, pasta, or even toasted bread!
