  • Prepare the vegetables properly: Trim the ends of the snap peas and cut them in half. Cut the zucchini squash into 1-inch pieces. You can also slice the zucchini squash if you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Snap peas and zucchini squash cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked vegetables will lose their鮮豔的顏色and become mushy.
  • Add flavor with herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to snap peas and zucchini squash. Try adding some chopped basil, oregano, or thyme to the dish. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Snap peas and zucchini squash are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their鮮豔的顏色and flavor.
