Dr. Monica Smith’s Garlic Mushrooms Recipe

Cremini, portobello, shiitake, oyster, and button: Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes, and they are a staple in any plant-based diet. 

Sure, you can toss them in salads and soups, but their “meaty” texture makes them a delicious, satisfying filling for veggie burgers, tacos, and ravioli. What’s more, mushrooms are a good source of nutrients like potassium, B vitamins, and fiber. And since they’re known to boost immunity, winter is the ideal time to experiment with mushroom-packed recipes.
