Zucchini and carrots are two of the most versatile vegetables, and they come together beautifully in this medley of flavors. They're joined by green onions and fresh dill, which add a bright, herbaceous note. These recipes are easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a main course. With options for both a vegan and a non-vegan version, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The vegan version uses olive oil instead of butter, and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It's also gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The non-vegan version uses butter and chicken broth, and it includes the addition of Parmesan cheese. Both versions are delicious and will surely be a hit at your next gathering.
Here are our top 7 tried and tested recipes!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender zucchini and carrots. Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color. Carrots should be smooth and free of blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables to the pan, they will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Garnish the vegetables with fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Zucchini and carrots with green onions and dill is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. This dish is simple to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try!
