A quick and flavorful Garlic Cauliflower Mushroom Skillet that combines tender cauliflower florets and savory mushrooms sautéed with garlic, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Finished with a touch of lemon juice and optional Parmesan, this dish makes a delicious low-carb side or light main course.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings & Flavorings

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Fats & Dairy

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and the oil to heat, creating a flavorful base for the vegetables.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until they start to turn slightly golden. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking the mixture for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and browning.
  3. Add Garlic & Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant and the spices infuse the vegetables.
  4. Finish & Serve: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the skillet and sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, if using. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the dish hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cauliflower with broccoli florets for a different but equally delicious variation.
  • For a vegan version, replace butter with a plant-based alternative and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan cheese substitute.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste, adding more paprika or herbs as desired.
  • Serve this skillet as a side dish or add a protein like grilled chicken or tofu to make it a complete meal.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to allow vegetables to brown nicely instead of steaming.
