Slow Cooker Mushrooms with Garlic and Herbs

This healthy version of steak house-worthy slow cooker mushrooms with garlic and herbs are a must-try for any mushroom lover.

If you want to avoid butter, you can substitute the small amount used in this recipe with an all-natural butter substitute or opt for olive oil instead.

The slow cooker does almost all the work here. Simply add your mushrooms of choice, herbs and broth, and cook until tender. You’ll need a pound of mushrooms, so choose your favorite (or use different varieties). While cooking, the mushrooms will absorb flavors from the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. And because the slow cooker is well, slower, it gives the herbs more time to infuse into the mushrooms. Near the end, almond milk and a smidgen of butter get added for extra creaminess and flavor. The results are absolutely divine.

Serve these slow cooker mushrooms as a side dish with any lean protein, spoon on top of pasta or zucchini noodles, or try them with scrambled eggs for a memorable breakfast. They also make an excellent hors d’oeuvre, just break out toothpicks for your guests and serve!
