Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Begin by washing and cutting the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Halve the delicata squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and slice it into thin half-moons.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Ensure that the oil is hot enough for frying.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Thyme

    Add the minced garlic and chopped thyme to the hot oil, sautéing for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.

  4. 4

    Flash-Fry the Cauliflower

    Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and quickly stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until they start to turn golden and tender-crisp.

  5. 5

    Add Delicata Squash

    Next, add the sliced delicata squash to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season the flash-fried vegetables with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or light meal.
