Ingredients
Scale
2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

- Add mushrooms and continue cooking for 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in vegetable broth, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using, and cover skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- Remove lid, stir in fresh parsley, and cook uncovered for 1 minute to let excess moisture evaporate.
