Instructions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add in the salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and vegetable broth.
- Once it comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, add in the vegetables and stir well to coat.
- Cook for 7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. If you prefer your veg softer, cooked for 10 minutes. (You may need to add extra broth)
Notes
- I use salted butter but use what you have available.
- The brown sugar is optional, but it does add just a hint of sweetness.
- You can use chicken broth or beef broth instead. (If you are cooking your vegetables until they are much softer you may need extra broth)
- These are just suggested vegetables, feel free to swap them out for what you have on hand or what your family prefers - see the bulk of the post for lots of suggestions.
- The herbs are optional! I like to add chopped chives for a touch of onion flavor, but fresh parsley, thyme, cilantro, or basil would be great.
