GARLIC:

CAULIFLOWER FLORETS:
- Cauliflower is the ideal low-carb alternative to starchy foods which we can slice into florets. A lovely caramelized taste may be achieved by roasting or pan-searing it.
MUSHROOMS:
- Shiitake or Portobello mushrooms is utilize for a more robust taste, although button or cremini mushrooms are best for their mild flavor.

BLACK PEPPER:
- Black pepper counterbalances the spices and garlic.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:

RED PEPPER FLAKES:
- I add the red chili flakes in this dish; you may modify the amount of heat by adding red pepper flakes if you like more or less spice.
FRESH PARSLEY:
- Chopped fresh parsley gives the meal a splash of color and a vibrant & fresh tone.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- We have to use the freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the greatest texture and flavor. It adds a savory, nutty flavor.
