Ingredients

  • mixed vegetables (such as carrots, broccoli, green beans, and peas)
  • butter
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • optional fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut vegetables into even-sized pieces.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Add vegetables and cook until tender but still crisp.
  4. Drain well and return to the pot or transfer to a bowl.
  5. Add butter while vegetables are hot and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired and toss gently before serving.

Notes

  • Steaming vegetables instead of boiling helps retain nutrients.
  • Add garlic or lemon juice for extra flavor.
  • Use olive oil or plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
