Carrots Zucchini And Basil Recipes

Steps:

• Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and carrots to the pan and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the carrots are crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
• Add the zucchini to the pan and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, orange juice and sugar and cook for 1 minute more. Toss to coat all of the vegetables in the glaze. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute carrots in butter for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and onion; saute 6-8 minutes longer or until crisp-tender. Add brown sugar; cook and stir until dissolved.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the inside of a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Boil carrots in a pot of lightly salted water until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Add zucchini and onion; boil until zucchini is tender, 5 to 10 more minutes. Drain.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk flour into melted butter forming a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir half-and-half into paste, stirring constantly, until mixed. Add bouillon cubes and stir until dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add Colby-Jack cheese, mustard, and dill; whisk until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vegetables. Transfer mixture to prepared casserole dish.
• Mix bread crumbs with 1/4 cup melted butter in a bowl until butter is fully incorporated. Sprinkle over top of casserole.

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the zucchini and fry until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to a baking dish. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle half of the garlic, basil, and mint leaves over the zucchini.
• Add the remaining oil to the frying pan. Add the carrots to the hot oil and saute until golden, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried carrots to the dish of zucchini. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the remaining garlic, basil, and mint leaves over. Drizzle the vinegar over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat. Cool to room temperature. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Allow the vegetables to come to room temperature before serving. Transfer the scapece to a platter. Serve with bread, fish or chicken.

Steps:

• Cut the zucchini and carrots into very thin slices (the size of wooden matchsticks).
• Cut the scallions into thin slices, including a little of the green.
• In a medium-sized skillet, heat the oil.
• Add the carrots and begin to saute, stirring frequently.
• When they begin to soften, add the zucchini and scallions.
• (Add a tablespoon or two of water or broth, if needed).
• Since the heat should be rather high, do not add the garlic until the vegetables are almost done, or it may brown.
• Season with salt and pepper and add lemon juice to taste when the vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Sprinkle with basil and chives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook carrots in boiling water for for 2 -3 mins until tender but crisp or microwave if desired.
• Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of liquid.
• Combine the garlic and oil in a nonstick pan and cook over a moderate heat until fragrant (you can smell the garlic).
• Add the carrots and stirring, cook until well combined and hot, adding a little of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the carrots and zucchini into 3-inch sticks, making sure they are even in thickness. Line a baking tray with baking paper and a light layer of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. If you want to be adventuresome, try some of these spices! Paprika, cumin, cayenne, crushed red peppers, thyme, rosemary, sage - really, whatever takes your fancy and suits your meal. Using premixed spice blends is a great option too - Italian, Mexican, Old Bay - you know, just not all at once. Lightly toss your vegetable batons with a tablespoon or so of olive oil (not too much) and the herbs and spices. Spread your seasoned veggies over your lined tray and roast, tossing halfway through, for about 20 minutes or until golden and slightly browned at the edges.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• In small bowl, stir oil, salt, pepper and garlic until well mixed. In 15x10x1-inch pan, toss carrots, potatoes, onions, bell pepper and zucchini with oil mixture until coated.

Steps:

• 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 vegetables into a serving bowl and top with the butter, lemon juice, basil and garlic podwer. Toss until the flavors are well mixed.
