Print Recipe

This recipe takes me back to sunny afternoons helping my mother harvest vegetables from our backyard. She always said, “Keep it simple, and let the garden shine.” With just a few ingredients, this dish brings out the natural sweetness and crispness of fresh veggies. Whether you’re cooking for one or for many, it’s a wholesome favorite that’s always a hit!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced

  • 1 yellow squash, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Juice of half a lemon

  • Optional: grated Parmesan or fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

  • Add asparagus and cook for 3 minutes.

  • Stir in zucchini and squash; cook for another 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.

  • Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

  • Optional: Top with Parmesan or fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Cut veggies evenly so they cook at the same rate.

  • Don’t overcook – a little crunch keeps it fresh and delicious.

  • Serve as a side dish, mix into pasta, or enjoy as a light main course.
