Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all vegetables. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds, julienne the red bell pepper, cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, and slice the baby carrots thinly if they are too thick.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the carrots and broccoli to the skillet first, as they take longer to cook. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Gently toss to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables in the cheese.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
