While you may think steamed veggies sound a bit bland, we promise this recipe is anything but boring. The melted garlic butter adds a zip to this recipe that allows it to become the perfect side dish to meat or fish; it’s even delicious served over fluffy rice. Enjoy!
1. Add 1-2 inches of water to a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Add broccoli, carrots, and peas to a steamer basket and place in the saucepan over the simmering water. Ensure the basket does not touch the water. Cover and steam for about 8 minutes, until the veggies are crisp yet tender. (Be sure not to overcook veggies.) Once done, remove to a serving bowl and drain water from pan.
3. Using the same saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Stir to combine, taste, and adjust flavor as needed. Once the flavor is to your liking, remove from heat and pour butter mixture over steamed veggies. Serve warm.
4. Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Pour oil over potatoes, then sprinkle the garlic and salt on top.
5. Toss thoroughly to combine; make sure potatoes and garlic are coated with oil.
6. Roast potatoes for 35-45 minutes, until fork tender and browned. Enjoy warm!
