Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Carrots, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 unit Lemon, juiced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your vegetables. Rinse the broccoli and cauliflower under cold water and cut them into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring about one inch of water to a boil. Add the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots to a steaming basket and place it over the boiling water.

Step 3

Cover the pot and steam the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp. Be careful not to overcook them.

Step 4

While the vegetables are steaming, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

Step 6

Once the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the olive oil and garlic mixture over the vegetables and gently toss to coat.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve the Dairy-Free California Medley warm or at room temperature as a healthy side dish.
