A delightful and healthy side dish featuring steamed carrots and zucchini, enhanced with a flavorful lemon herb butter.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Ensure the water level is below the steamer basket to prevent direct contact with the vegetables.
Place the carrots in a steamer basket over the simmering water, cover, and steam until slightly tender.
Cut the carrots into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Add the zucchini to the steamer basket with the carrots, cover, and steam until both are tender.
Slice the zucchini into similar-sized pieces as the carrots to ensure consistent cooking.
Transfer the steamed vegetables to a serving bowl.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to handle the hot vegetables safely.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, lemon juice, dried basil, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt until well combined.
Soften the butter slightly for easier mixing.
Pour the butter mixture over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Toss the vegetables gently to avoid breaking them.
Serve the dish warm as a delightful side to your main course.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added color and flavor.
