Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup fresh cauliflower florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup sliced yellow squash
- 1 cup sliced zucchini
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: wash and slice the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice the carrots, yellow squash, and zucchini into even-sized pieces.
In a large pan or skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it doesn’t brown.
Add the broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, yellow squash, and zucchini to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the garlic and butter.
Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir to combine and evenly distribute the spices.
Sauté the vegetables over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp. Adjust the cooking time to your desired level of tenderness.
Add the lemon zest to the pan, give a final stir, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Remove the vegetables from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy, low sodium Normandy vegetable medley!
