Herbed Carrots And Zucchini - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup carrot, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon onion powder or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

pepper
salt

Preparation

Begin by bringing water in a large pot to boil; reduce to a bubbling simmer.
Place carrots in a steamer basket above the water, cover and steam for 3-5 minutes. You should be able to pierce the carrots with a fork but experience some resistance.
Place the zucchini over the carrots; recover and steam an additional 3-5 minutes until you reach the desired doneness.
Place the vegetables into a serving bowl and top with the butter, lemon juice, basil and garlic podwer. Toss until the flavors are well mixed.
Serve immediately.
