Instructions

  1. NOTE: These vegetable choices listed are our faves for color and taste, but just suggestions, Use your family's favorite vegetable mix.

  2. If using dense vegetables such as carrots or potatoes, they will take longer to cook. So chop and steam them first with a splash of water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and allow them to steam while preparing other vegetables.

  3. Chop remaining vegetables in uniform chunks. (NOTE: Larger chunks are more visually appealing, smaller chunks cook faster)

  4. On medium heat In 10" skillet or on a griddle, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.

  5. Add chopped vegetables to skillet or griddle. Use spatula to turn and coat all sides of vegetables. Sprinkle with salt & pepper if desired.
