Ingredients

4 servings

2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup carrots, sliced ¼-inch thick on the diagonal
1 cup snap peas, strings removed
Ingredient note
Snap peas are pods and are low in starch, so they are usually fine on a candida diet even though beans and peas are limited early on. This recipe works out to only about 1/4 cup of snap peas per serving, which is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid snap peas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1
Place the broccoli florets and sliced carrots in a microwave-safe dish. Scatter the snap peas on top. Drizzle the water over the vegetables.
2
Cover the dish tightly with a microwave-safe lid or a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then check: the carrots should be just barely tender when pierced with a fork and the broccoli should be bright green. If the carrots still feel firm, cover and microwave in 30-second bursts until just tender, up to 2 minutes more.
