  • Choose your vegetables:
    Select your favorite vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, or bell peppers.
    Cut them into bite-sized pieces for easy cooking.
  • Heat up the skillet:
    Place a skillet on medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Let it heat up for a minute or two.

    Once the skillet is hot, add the vegetables and stir them around to coat them in the oil or butter.
    Let them cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.
  • Make the basting sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and salt and pepper.

    Using a pastry brush or spoon, baste the vegetables with the sauce.
    Make sure to coat them evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables:
    Let the vegetables cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and caramelised.
  • Serve and enjoy:
    Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and serve them hot.
    They make a great side dish for any meal or can be enjoyed on their own as a healthy snack.
