Tips:

  • Prep your veggies in advance: Chopping and dicing your vegetables ahead of time will save you time and ensure that your skillet meal comes together quickly and easily.
  • Use a large skillet: This will allow you to cook all of your vegetables at once without overcrowding the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches: If you have a lot of vegetables to cook, cook them in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your vegetables. This will help them to taste their best.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, can add a lot of flavor to your skillet meal.
  • Serve immediately: Italian veggie skillet is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crisp and tender.
