Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Carrot, sliced
- 200 grams Cauliflower florets
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and zucchini thoroughly. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds.
Prepare a steamer basket or insert and set it over a pot of simmering water.
Place the broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and zucchini into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
While the vegetables are steaming, prepare the seasoning by mixing olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Once the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the steamed vegetables and toss gently to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the vegetables while they are still warm so that the cheese melts slightly.
Finish by garnishing the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
