Main ingredients
- VEGETABLES. I used zuc،i, summer squash, carrots, and red bell pepper. You can use other veggies such as mushrooms, asparagus, okra, cabbage, onions, broccoli, or sugar snap peas.
- SPICES. Garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- FAT. I used a little bit of avocado oil to saute the veggies, and a tables، of ،er at the end, to give them a nice aroma and extra flavor. You can also use extra ، olive oil.
- HERBS. I had a combination of parsley and dill, but other herbs such as basil, mint, or cilantro work well too.
How to make Sauteed Vegetables
1. Heat the avocado oil in a large, non-stick or cast iron s،et over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for about 3 minutes.
2. Now, add the zuc،i, summer squash, bell peppers, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir the veggies, reduce the heat to medium, and cook covered with a lid for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Turn off the heat and place the ،er on top. Cover with a lid a،n and allow the ،er to melt (wait for 1 minute).
4. Lastly, stir in the fresh herbs. Serve.
Tips for the best Sauteed Vegetables
- Pick good quality vegetables. Make sure you are looking for unblemished, firm-skinned vegetables that are ripe and unbruised.
- C،p the vegetables to similar sizes. When sautéing vegetables, you want them to cook at about the same s،d to avoid burning some while others are raw. Make them the same bite-size pieces for even cooking.
- Let the carrots cook first. This root vegetable needs extra time to soften so don’t add the others until it’s had a few minutes to tenderize. This extra cooking time will also let it release some sweet flavor.
- Keep these veggies covered. This creates steam that enables the vegetables to cook and soften in less time than if they were uncovered.
Variations to this recipe
- Add some protein. Make this a main course by adding some black beans, salmon, tofu, chicken, beef, or pork to the recipe. It will be filling enough to eat all on its own.
- Add different herbs and ،es. Besides the ones I used, you could also season this dish with dried or fresh basil, onion powder, curry powder, turmeric, thyme, cilantro, and more.
- Subs،ute other vegetables. Other veggies that would work well in this recipe include mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, asparagus, peas, green beans, and cabbage.
- Make this dish ،y. You can make this Sautéed Vegetables recipe with some ،e by adding a little cayenne pepper, Sriracha, or red pepper flakes.
