Garlic Cauliflower Mushroom Skillet is a quick, one-pan veggie dish bursting with garlicky flavor. With tender cauliflower and savory mushrooms, it’s a low-carb, plant-based recipe that’s perfect as a side or main meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or baby bella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • Juice of half a lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and moisture is released.
  4. Add cauliflower florets, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and stir to coat in garlic oil.
  5. Cover skillet and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender but firm.
  6. Remove lid and cook for another 2–3 minutes to brown the veggies and evaporate excess moisture.
  7. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add baby spinach at the end for extra greens.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
  • Stir in chickpeas or white beans for added protein.
  • Add a dash of balsamic or soy sauce for flavor variation.
  • Best served fresh; avoid freezing for optimal texture.
