Ingredients
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Carrot, sliced
- 200 grams Cauliflower florets
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and zucchini thoroughly. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds.
Step 2
Prepare a steamer basket or insert and set it over a pot of simmering water.
Step 3
Place the broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and zucchini into the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 4
While the vegetables are steaming, prepare the seasoning by mixing olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Step 5
Once the vegetables are cooked, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the steamed vegetables and toss gently to coat them evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the vegetables while they are still warm so that the cheese melts slightly.
Step 8
Finish by garnishing the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside your favorite main course.
