Ingredients

• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Green beans
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water to remove dirt or debris.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets, and set them aside.

Step 3

Peel the carrots, then slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them in half, if desired.

Step 5

Slice the zucchini into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Core the red bell pepper, remove any seeds, and slice it into thin strips.

Step 7

Fill the bottom of a large pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Place a steamer basket inside the pot, ensuring it sits above the water level without being submerged.

Step 9

Add the broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower to the steamer basket first, as they take longer to cook.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and steam the vegetables for about 4 minutes.

Step 11

Add the zucchini, red bell pepper, and green beans to the steamer basket. Cover again and steam for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender yet still crisp (test with a fork).

Step 12

While the vegetables are steaming, in a small bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 13

Once the vegetables are done, transfer them to a large serving bowl.
