Sautéed vegetables are a popular cooking method that involves quickly frying vegetables in a small amount of oil over high heat. This technique helps to retain the vegetables' natural flavors, colors, and nutrients. Common vegetables used for sautéing include bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli. To sauté vegetables, they are typically cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. The process usually takes just a few minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender while still maintaining some crunch. Sautéed vegetables can be served as a side dish or added to various recipes, enhancing both taste and nutrition.
