- Add about 2 inches of water in a saucepan. Set the pan over medium heat to bring it to a simmer.

Add about a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and stir to combine. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Drizzle the garlic butter over the vegetables and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to sautéing in garlic butter. Some vegetables, like broccoli and asparagus, hold up well and retain their crunch, while others, like leafy greens and tomatoes, tend to wilt and become mushy.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use fresh garlic and butter: Fresh garlic has a more pungent flavor than jarred garlic, and fresh butter has a richer flavor than margarine.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper: This will help bring out their flavor.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Sautéed vegetables are best served hot.
Conclusion:
Sautéing vegetables in garlic butter is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and healthy side dish. With a few simple tips, you can create a flavorful dish that will complement any meal.
