After looking at your list of seasonings, I'm wondering if alot of the seasonings would get drained away...would it be better to add the seasonings after draining the liquid?

Well, spring is upon us and it has got me thinking about vegetables. That sounds funny, but it's true! Minus a bit of slicing time, this is a very easy and quick side dish to prepare. Add some spices, and you end up with a savory dish that even a table of children will gobble up without a single complaint!

Total Time: About 20 minutes, prep included

Yield: About 6 generous sides

Ingredients:

8 baby zucchini, or 5 cups sliced zucchini
4 carrots, or 2 cups sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3-4 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp basil
1 tsp salt

Steps:

Peel and slice your zucchini. I did this by hand, they are roughly 1/4 inch thick. Peel and slice your carrots.

I used a hand held mandolin slicer for the carrots. I suggest doing this for carrots, as it will give you thinner slices that will cook quicker.
