Ingredients
  

For the Skillet

  • 4 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor with its aromatic qualities; fresh garlic is recommended for the best results.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Used for sautéing; can be replaced with coconut oil for a different flavor experience.
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances overall flavor; sea salt or kosher salt works best.

For Added Flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Cauliflower Mushroom Skillet
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing the cauliflower and chopping it into bite-sized florets. Next, slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure uniform cooking and mince the fresh garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the hot skillet and season with a pinch of salt. Sauté the cauliflower for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it turns slightly golden and tender-crisp.
  4. Once the cauliflower is ready, incorporate the sliced mushrooms into the skillet. Continue to sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic along with paprika, Italian seasoning, and freshly ground black pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.
  6. Drizzle a splash of lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added creaminess and flavor. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and enjoy.
