Begin by cleaning the cauliflower; remove the leaves and cut it into small, uniform florets.

Place a large skillet over medium heat and pour in olive oil. Heat for about 1-2 minutes until it shimmers.

Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs if desired, serve warm.
