How to prepare this plant-based Keto side dish?

This Keto caramelized mushroom and cauliflower skillet is one of the easiest side dishes to prepare. Start by sauteing the onion in olive oil to enhance the flavor.

Can you add more vegetables?

How to prevent the mushrooms from becoming soggy?

Mushrooms can become soggy when washed if they are too wet or if the pan is cold. For cleaning, avoid rinsing or soaking them in water. Instead, wipe them with a damp towel to get rid of any dirt. If your mushrooms are too dirty, then you can rinse them, but make sure you let them dry completely before cooking them. Also, use a heavy skillet that retains heat to prevent the pan from cooling.

Is this skillet healthy?

All the ingredients used to make this dish are unprocessed whole foods. This meal is also dairy-free, gluten-free, and paleo. It is suitable for many people with different dietary preferences.
