Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. Add mushrooms and cook another 5–7 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  4. Mix in rosemary, sage, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let cook briefly to release aromas.

Notes

For a holiday twist, mix in dried cranberries or roasted chestnuts. Make it gluten-free by using GF bread. To make it oil-free, sauté in broth instead of butter. Assemble ahead and bake before serving for stress-free prep.
