Description
A quick and flavorful medley of fresh vegetables sautéed in garlic butter, perfect as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, zucchini)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry the vegetables. Cut bell peppers into strips, trim broccoli into small florets, slice carrots thinly, and cut zucchini into half-moons. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Dry vegetables well.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of butter and let it melt, swirling the pan so the butter coats the surface. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the 2 cups mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir to coat everything in the garlic butter. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still bright and slightly crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, sprinkle fresh parsley over the medley, and toss lightly. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, reheat briefly on the stove to revive some crispness. Avoid overheating, which makes vegetables mushy.
