Garlic Butter Spring Veggie Medley Recipe
Let’s face it—sometimes your body screams for vegetables, and sometimes you just want butter. This recipe solves that life crisis.
We’re talking crisp-tender spring veggies dripping in rich, garlicky goodness without sacrificing your plant-based goddess status.
You won’t find bland steamed broccoli here, darling—this is flavor-forward, fast, and fabulous.
Garlic plays the lead role, butter (vegan, of course) steals the show, and your skillet becomes the stage.
The best part? It looks like you meal-prepped, but really you threw this together between TikTok scrolls and text replies.
Garlic Butter Spring Veggie Medley Recipe
A vibrant mix of spring vegetables sautéed in rich vegan garlic butter. Quick, easy, and tastes like you’re cheating at healthy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar snap peas trimmed
- 1 cup asparagus cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup zucchini sliced into half-moons
- 1/2 cup baby carrots sliced thin
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced (more if you’re warding off vampires or exes)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional but makes you look extra)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil and vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Let it melt into silky perfection.
- Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. It should smell like you own an Italian villa (minus the mortgage).
- Toss in carrots first since they need a head start. Cook for 3 minutes while pretending you’re on a cooking show.
- Add asparagus, peas, and zucchini. Stir everything like you mean it, cooking for another 5–7 minutes.
- Squeeze in lemon juice, sprinkle salt and pepper, and stir to coat the veggies in buttery, garlicky magic.
- Turn off heat and garnish with parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Serve hot, warm, or straight from the pan.
