• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini and carrots. Cut both into thin rounds or half-moons about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley, thyme, and rosemary.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 5

Add the zucchini and carrots to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the garlic and oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir to distribute evenly.

Step 7

Cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Add the parsley, thyme, and rosemary during the last 2 minutes of cooking to release the fragrance of the herbs.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
