Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower (or 4 cups cauliflower rice)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini mushrooms)

2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cauliflower: If using a whole head of cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem, and cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can use pre-packaged cauliflower rice.

    Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.

      Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

        Incorporate the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Sauté until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

          Combine with Cauliflower Rice: Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Sprinkle in the onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir everything together, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

            Finish with Cheese: If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt, adding a creamy texture to the dish.

              Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
