Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 3 units carrots
  • 1 unit zucchini
  • 1 unit yellow squash
  • 0.5 unit red bell pepper can use a full pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.125 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

Preparation and Cooking Steps

  • Peel and slice the carrots. Chop the zucchini and yellow squash into half-rounds. Slice the bell pepper.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high. Once the skillet is very hot, add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface. Add the sliced carrots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Next, add the bell pepper, zucchini, squash, basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Continue to sauté for 2-3 minutes more, or just until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Once the vegetables have just begun to soften, remove the skillet from the heat. Add the butter and toss until it has melted and coated the vegetables.
  • Finally, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, give them a taste and adjust the salt or pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley just before serving.

Notes

You can use a full pepper. I happened to have a leftover half pepper from something else, which is why it's listed as ½ in the recipe.
