How to Make Basil Vegetables
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil (or 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped basil).
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt (or to taste).
- Thinly slice 1 medium onion and add it to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Halve 1 medium zucchini and 1 medium yellow squash lengthwise. Remove the seeds and slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Add to the skillet.
- Sauté the zucchini and squash for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
- Core and chop 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add to the skillet.
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are heated through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. Do not overcook.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
