Finding new ways to cook and season simple vegetable side dishes is always a challenge. Steaming is quick, easy and it preserves nutrients.
1-3 crook-neck yellow squash per person
Italian seasoning
sea salt
olive oil or organic butter
- Place pan with steamer insert and 1″-2″ water on medium burner
- Wash squash well
- Slice into rounds
- Place squash into pan; steam 3-5 minutes until tender yet still firm
- Remove to bowl (or back into pan without steamer or water – the pan will be warm and there’s only one thing to wash)
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil or toss with chunks of organic butter
- Season with sea salt and Italian seasoning (or simply oregano, basil and marjoram)
