Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut all vegetables into uniform sizes.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices for maximum flavor. Dried herbs can also be used, but they should be added earlier in the cooking process to give them time to rehydrate.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Season the vegetables to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use.
