Italian-style vegetable medley

This super-simple recipe uses just three ingredients to create a healthy side dish that’s ready in about 20 minutes. For a tender-crisp medley, be sure to chop the vegetables so they are all about the same size and thickness. They'll cook evenly that way. And you can use whatever dried herbs you like to season these vegetables. Rosemary, sage, and tarragon would also be delicious. When steaming vegetables, the boiling water should not come into contact with the bottom of the steamer basket. If it does, the vegetables stand the chance of boiling rather than steaming, which will change the texture and nutrient quality.
