Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut Vegetables

    Thoroughly wash all vegetables under running water. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the zucchini into half-moons and break the broccoli into small florets.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Carrots and Broccoli

    Add the sliced carrots and broccoli florets to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

  3. 4

    Incorporate Zucchini and Bell Peppers

    Add the zucchini and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 5

    Season the Vegetables

    Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs over the sautéed vegetables. Toss well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and serve the sautéed vegetables warm as a side dish.
