1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (optional)
1 carrot, julienned

2 small zucchini, cut into thin circles
1/2-1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

salt, as needed

Steps:

  • Add the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini and stir to blend.
  • Add the Italian seasoning and stir again.
  • Flip the vegetables over occasionally using a spachula. Some of the vegetables should get brown spots on them, but the vegetables taste best if there is still a slight crispness to them.
  • When the vegetables are ready, add salt.
  • Turn off heat.
  • If desired, stir in a deseeded and diced roma (plum) tomato at this time-optional.
  • I have had similar recipes at Italian restaurants, so I eventually made up my own recipe to go with my meals at home.
