🌿 Ingredients

  • 3 cups cauliflower florets (small pieces cook best)
  • 2 cups whole mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional but amazing!)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the veggies

Clean the mushrooms and chop cauliflower into small, even-sized pieces so everything cooks perfectly.

2️⃣ Sear the mushrooms

Heat oil or vegan butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until they start to brown and release their juices.

3️⃣ Add cauliflower + garlic

Stir in the cauliflower and sauté for 8–10 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring until everything becomes golden, fragrant, and slightly crispy on the edges.

4️⃣ Finish with herbs

Turn off the heat and toss in fresh parsley and lemon juice. The brightness takes this dish to another level!

5️⃣ Serve & enjoy!

Eat it as a main dish, serve over rice, add to pasta, or pair with crusty bread. It’s unbelievably good.
