Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 large carrots, scraped and cut about 1/4 inch thick, diagonally, nice and large
20 small red new potatoes, whole, skins left on
3 c fresh broccoli florets
3 zucchini, rinsed, and sliced about 1/4 inch thick, skins left on
2 c whole small sized mushrooms
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 Tbsp dried or fresh parsley
1/2 tsp onion powder (not onion salt)
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. In a steamer, place the sliced carrots, the whole new potatoes, and broccoli florets. Place a lid on top and allow vegetables to steam until done to your liking. (I don't let them steam too long since I like my vegetables crunchy. Remember, you're going to add them to the skillet and cook them a little further.)
2. In a large skillet, pour the olive oil. Add all the seasonings, and sauté the zucchini and mushrooms for about 7-10 minutes.
3. When done, add all the steamed vegetables to the skillet, toss well to coat with the olive oil and seasonings. Heat thoroughly and serve.
4. (Can be served with a couple of shakes of Parmesan cheese on top, if desired)
