4 servings
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, sliced ¼-inch thick on the diagonal
- 1 cup snap peas, strings removed
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient noteDried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
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.
