Move over Brussels Sprouts, Hello Pan Sautéed Cauliflower

This is my new favorite, and a very tasty way to make fresh cauliflower – and it only takes 7 minutes.

What Is Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a versatile, nutrient-dense vegetable packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. The key health benefits of cauliflower include supporting weight management, promoting heart health, boosting brain function, and aiding in digestion. With its rich nutrient profile, cauliflower is a powerhouse ingredient that can easily be incorporated into a variety of dishes to enhance overall wellness. From roasting it as a side dish to adding it to soups and salads, cauliflower can be cooked in many different ways to offer an array of flavors.

Cauliflower also packs a lot more nutrition than a simple white potato and it is a lower-starch option as well.

And, it’s also low in fat and calories but still high in fiber which may help reduce cholesterol levels and aid digestion.

Serves

Ingredients

1 fresh cauliflower head
2 -4 tablespoons EVOO
4 tablespoons water
Chopped scallions, basil or cilantro (whatever you like, optional)
salt & pepper

Steps

Wash and dry cauliflower.

Cut cauliflower into flat larger pieces or florets. (I find that one flat side browns up so nicely).

Drizzle EVOO into a large sauté pan and heat with medium heat.

Add cauliflower in a single layer and sauté for 3 minutes, do not stir or move. Toss or flip cauliflower to another side, then sauté, again without stirring or moving, for an another 3 minutes. Don’t let it burn.

Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover the skillet, and cook for 3 minutes.

Remove lid sauté another 1 minute to a golden brown.
