1-Getting started: Getting started with this garlic butter veggie medley is as simple as gathering your ingredients and a skillet. Begin by melting ¼ cup of butter over medium-low heat, which takes just a minute or two to create that creamy base. Once it’s simmering, stir in ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, the optional ¼ teaspoon brown sugar, and ½ cup vegetable broth for a flavorful mix.

2-Next, add your prepped vegetables 3 carrots chopped into batons, 2 cups of chopped broccoli, and 2 cups of chopped cauliflower right into the skillet. Stir everything to coat the veggies evenly, then lower the heat and cook for about 7 minutes if you like them tender-crisp, or 10 minutes for softer results. Keep an eye on the pan and add a bit more broth if things start to dry out, ensuring your medley stays moist and delicious.

3-Finally, sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs like parsley or basil before serving to add a burst of color and flavor. This whole process totals around 15 minutes, making it perfect for quick weeknight dinners. For even better results, remember tips like seasoning the butter ahead for deeper taste or cooking firmer veggies first to avoid uneven doneness.
