Sauté the Vegetables
Cover the skillet and continue cooking the mixture for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini and carrots are tender and have softened to your desired texture. -
Serve
Once the vegetables are fully cooked, remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish. This dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of main courses.
