Start by cleaning and slicing the bella mushrooms.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them evenly.

Once the mushrooms begin to soften, stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme.

Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, stirring well.

Continue cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown.

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Serve the bella mushrooms warm as a side dish or over pasta.
