Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 mediu red onion or yellow roughly chopped
- 1-2 large carrots peeled and sliced into 1” rounds
- 2 cloves garlic minced or crushed
- 1 medium zucchini sliced into half moons
- 1 medium yellow squash sliced into half moons
- 1 red bell pepper chopped into 1” pieces
- 1 small head broccoli chopped into florets (1-1 ½ cups)
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- Ground pepper taste
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
Instructions
- Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onion and carrots and cook for about 5-6 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Add garlic, zucchini, squash, bell pepper and broccoli to the skillet along with basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Let veggies cook for about 6-8 minutes or until browned and tender. You’ll want to toss occasionally, but not too often otherwise the veggies won’t have a chance to brown. If your veggies start sticking to the pan, add a bit more olive oil.
- Once veggies are cooked to your desired consistency, reduce heat and add in butter. Toss until the butter is melted. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired. You can also garnish with fresh herbs like parsley.
Notes
- Make it dairy-free: To make this recipe dairy-free, simply omit the butter and use an additional tablespoon of olive oil or a dairy-free butter substitute.
- Switch up the veggies: Feel free to mix and match with whatever vegetables you have on hand. Cauliflower, snap peas green beans, mushrooms or asparagus are all great alternatives.
- Garlic powder: Use 1 teaspoon garlic powder instead of fresh garlic.
- Use different seasonings: Feel free to swap out the dried basil and oregano with different herbs or spices depending on what flavor profile you're going for.
