Ingredients
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup sliced carrots
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt to taste
Instructions
Place vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover with a plate. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes. Then drain the water and toss with olive oil and seasonings.
The vegetables come out crisp-tender, not mushy. Plus, the colors stay bright, which means nutrients are preserved.
Notes
I make this at least three times a week. Sometimes I add a squeeze of lemon. Other times, I sprinkle on some parmesan. Either way, it works.
