Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 tablespoons water or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Wash and prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets and slice the mushrooms thinly.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir to coat them in the oil and garlic mixture.
Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Cover the pan with a lid and let the vegetables steam for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
Remove the lid and add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir well and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and any excess liquid has evaporated.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the vegetables. Stir again to ensure even seasoning.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Remove the pan from the heat.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a healthy side dish or as part of a larger meal.
