Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Carrots, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 unit Lemon, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Rinse the broccoli and cauliflower under cold water and cut them into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
In a large pot, bring about one inch of water to a boil. Add the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to a steaming basket and place it over the boiling water.
Cover the pot and steam the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp. Be careful not to overcook them.
While the vegetables are steaming, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Once the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the olive oil and garlic mixture over the vegetables and gently toss to coat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve the Dairy-Free California Medley warm or at room temperature as a healthy side dish.
