Ingredients

  • 2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)
  • 4 medium zucchini, cut into julienne strips
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill weed or 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water in saucepan or skillet (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place carrots in basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Steam carrots 3 minutes. Add zucchini. Steam 4 to 6 minutes or until carrots and zucchini are crisp-tender.
  • 2
    Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir in carrots, zucchini and remaining ingredients. Cook uncovered 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently, until hot.

  • Steaming is one of the best ways to retain all of a veggie’s valuable vitamins and minerals.
  • If you have some veggies left over, use them the next night as a baked potato topper. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for even more flavor the second time around!
