Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 zucchinis, sliced
- 3 to 4 carrots, thinly sliced
Seasonings
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. dried parsley
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Oils
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. ghee or olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Slice the zucchinis and carrots thinly to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Combine Vegetables: In a large bowl, mix the sliced zucchini and carrots thoroughly.
- Add Seasonings: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then sprinkle the dried thyme, parsley, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat all the vegetable slices with the herbs and seasoning.
- Heat Fat: Warm 2 tablespoons of ghee (or olive oil as a substitute) in a skillet over medium heat.

Notes
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor if available; adjust quantities accordingly.
- The cooking time can be adjusted depending on the desired vegetable tenderness.
- Ghee adds a richer flavor compared to olive oil, but both work well in this recipe.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or let cool and add to salads.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure that seasonings and spices do not contain hidden gluten.
