Saute vegetables until lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally so they do not burn.

These Sauteed Zucchini and Carrots are special enough for date night, but easy enough for weeknight meals. So delicious!!
Notes:
- The amount of time needed to cook will depend on the thickness of your vegetables, how hot your stove cooks, and how “caramelized” your like your zucchini and carrots. I like mine with some brown around the edges, and that took about 10 minutes.
- I used Thyme because I like the simplicity of the flavor, but feel free to use your favorite herbs.
- I cut my zucchini and carrots at an angle this time, but round slices and crinkle cut work as well.
- This side dish is Whole 30 and Paleo compliant.
What’s your go to vegetable side dish? I should probably broaden my familycuisine.net palette.
Enjoy!!
