Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing a large skillet over medium heat and adding 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about 1 minute until shimmering.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the cleaned and chopped cauliflower to the skillet. Sauté the cauliflower for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and slightly golden around the edges.
  3. Next, incorporate the sliced mushrooms into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the cauliflower. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and become soft.
  4. Now, add the minced garlic, paprika, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes, watching for the garlic to become fragrant but not browned.
  5. To finish off the Garlic Cauliflower Mushroom Skillet, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Toss to combine all the flavors and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
