Begin by prepping all your vegetables. Wash the broccoli and cauliflower, and then cut them into bite-sized florets. Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and sliced carrots.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables in the bowl. Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Toss the vegetables well to ensure they are thoroughly coated with the olive oil and seasonings.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned vegetables to the skillet.
Sauté the medley for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of tenderness.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish.
Garnish the sugar-free California medley with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious side or a light, healthy meal.
