How to make vegan mushroom stroganoff

Sautee the veggies

First, you’ll saute the onion and mushrooms until they begin to soften. Then you’ll add the seasonings, which include garlic and onion powder, paprika, and salt. 

Thicken the sauce

Next, you’ll whisk together the coconut milk and cornstarch, then add it to the skillet with the mushrooms. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Finally, you’ll add the fresh thyme and baby spinach until wilted.
