Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large carrots, peeled
2 zucchini, medium to large
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots and zucchini into long, fine strands or ribbons by drawing a vegetable peeler down the length of them.
  • Pour 1/2 inch of boiling water into a saucepan and add the carrots. Cover the pan, and half-boil, half-steam the carrots over moderate heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook for 1-2 minutes longer (zucchini cook quickly; don't let them become waterlogged). Drain.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, add the pesto and a little seasoning, mix well, and serve at once.

I think this dish could be improved by adding some other vegetables, such as bell peppers or mushrooms.

I think this dish could be improved by roasting the vegetables at a higher temperature.

I think this dish could be improved by using a different type of pesto sauce.

This dish is so versatile. I can imagine serving it as an appetizer, a side dish, or even a main course.

I loved the way the carrots and zucchini caramelized in the oven. It gave them a slightly sweet and smoky flavor.

The pesto sauce was the perfect complement to the roasted vegetables.
