Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into florets and rinse them under cold water. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- Cook the Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Cook the Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower begins to soften and turn golden brown.
- Add the Mushrooms: Once the cauliflower is slightly tender, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and golden brown.
- Season: Season the skillet with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from the heat and transfer the cooked cauliflower and mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
- Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course and enjoy!
