Ingredients
Vegetable Mix
- 1 zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets, small pieces (small pieces cook faster)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional but adds flavor)
Garlic Butter Flavor Base
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional, brightens flavor)
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add olive oil, then add the veggies that take longer to cook first: broccoli, onions, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the quicker cooking veggies: zucchini, squash, and mushrooms. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Push veggies to the sides of the skillet. Add butter to the center. Once melted, add garlic and cook for about 20 to 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper, then finish with lemon juice if using.
Notes
Use a big pan to avoid crowding the vegetables, which helps in proper browning. For different flavors, experiment with seasonings based on your preference.
