Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- Slice the zucchini.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Ensure the baby spinach is washed and drained.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The garlic should become fragrant without turning brown.
- Add the broccoli florets to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to become tender but still retain some crunch.
- Incorporate the sliced zucchini into the pan. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, or until the zucchini starts to soften.
- Add the baby spinach to the pan. Stir the vegetables together until the spinach is wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. If you like, you can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh zing.
- Transfer your sautéed vegetables to a serving dish and enjoy hot.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash all the vegetables thoroughly before cooking.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; it will prevent the vegetables from getting a nice sauté.
- Use medium-high heat to get a nice, slight char on the vegetables.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
