Sauteed broccoli, zucchini and baby spinach

Sautéed vegetables make for a delicious and nutritious side dish. This recipe for sautéed broccoli, zucchini, and baby spinach is quick, easy, and full of vibrant flavors. It's perfect for a healthy meal on any day of the week.

Ingredients:

16 oz broccoli
450g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 large zucchini
300g
2 cups spinach
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- Slice the zucchini.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Ensure the baby spinach is washed and drained.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Garlic:
- 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.
4. Cook the Broccoli:
- 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.
5. Add the Zucchini:
- Incorporate the sliced zucchini into the pan. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, or until the zucchini starts to soften.
6. Stir in the Spinach:
- Add the baby spinach to the pan. Stir the vegetables together until the spinach is wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
7. Season:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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.

This sautéed broccoli, zucchini, and baby spinach dish is a simple yet satisfying way to enjoy a variety of vegetables in one meal. With its vibrant colors and delightful flavors, it's sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy it on its own, or pair it with your favorite protein for a well-rounded meal.
