🧄 Keto Garlic Cauliflower & Mushrooms

Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets

• 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini work best)

• 3 tbsp butter (or olive oil)

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup heavy cream

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Steam the Cauliflower:
   Steam or boil cauliflower florets until just tender (about 5–7 minutes). Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté Mushrooms:
   In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5–6 minutes until golden and tender.

3. Add Garlic:
   Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Make It Creamy:
   Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well, then add Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the sauce thickens slightly (2–3 minutes).

5. Combine & Serve:
   Add the cooked cauliflower to the skillet and gently toss to coat everything in the creamy garlic sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes.

6. Garnish:
   Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.

💡 Tips

• Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.

• You can make it a complete meal by adding grilled chicken or shrimp.

• For extra cheesiness, top with mozzarella and broil for 2–3 minutes.
