Tips:

  • Prep your veggies beforehand: Chop, slice, and dice all your vegetables before you start cooking. This will save you time and hassle when you're trying to get dinner on the table quickly.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give your vegetables plenty of room to cook evenly. If you use a skillet that's too small, your vegetables will crowd each other and won't cook properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add your vegetables to the skillet, make sure not to overcrowd it. If you do, your vegetables will steam instead of sautéing, and they won't get that nice, caramelized flavor.
  • Cook your vegetables in batches: If you're using a lot of vegetables, you may need to cook them in batches. Just remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set them aside while you cook the rest.
  • Season your vegetables: Don't forget to season your vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Add a splash of liquid: If your vegetables start to stick to the skillet, add a splash of water, broth, or white wine. This will help to deglaze the skillet and prevent your vegetables from burning.
  • Cook your vegetables until they're tender-crisp: Don't overcook your vegetables, or they'll become mushy. Cook them until they're tender-crisp, so they still have a little bit of bite to them.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy Italian veggie skillet is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with flavor, and it's a healthy and satisfying meal. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
