Prepare the vegetables by washing, peeling, and slicing them as listed in the ingredients.
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the carrots and cauliflower florets to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
