Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Green beans
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets, trim the ends of the green beans, and slice them into 2-inch pieces. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the broccoli florets and green beans to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender but still have a slight crunch.
Stir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become brightly colored and tender.
Season the vegetables with red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to distribute the spices.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the saute and give it a final stir.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to grilled fish, chicken, or tofu, or enjoy it on its own as a healthy, light meal.
