Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds. Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, then slice it into strips. Trim the ends of the green beans. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin diagonal slices. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil and butter (if using) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the carrots and green beans to the skillet first, as they take longer to cook. Stir and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat all the vegetables in the oil.
Cook the vegetables for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but still slightly crisp.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning during the last minute of cooking. Stir to combine and cook just until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed vegetables to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Great Sautéed Vegetables!
