    Nourishing, easy to prepare, less than half an hour from raw to plate - sometimes that is all we desire when we return home from work. Anything else (taste, conversation, relaxation, refreshing drinks) is optional.

    Bonus points for your tremendous effort, though, if you put some deliciousness in the slow cooker before you leave your kitchen in the morning.

    Carrots have long been known for their ability to boost the immune system, improve digestion, and improve eyesight - and we are not just talking about the orange ones!

    If you can find heirloom varieties at your local farmers market, or perhaps you grow your own, then seek out the purple, yellow, red, and white carrots as well. Not only will they provide you with plenty of vitamins and minerals, but they will also look splendid on the plate, providing an eye candy that is actually good for you.

    We know the importance of eating our colors, and of drinking them too - carrot and beet juice is delicious for that!

    Sautéed carrots and zucchini with spices are a lovely combination, though we highly recommend using the herbs that you and your family like best. If the thyme feels too powerful, sprinkle a bit less over the vegetables, and if you have a passion for garlic powder, then please add a pinch more. Use your intuition to find the correct and blissful amount of seasoning that you desire.

    If you are searching for another flavorful, easy appetizer or side dish, roasted rosemary radishes may just be your thing - the quantity of rosemary is completely up to you.

        Thanks for sharing this very good recipe. The herbs were not overwhelming and the vegetables still has some "bite" to them (I really dislike mushy zucchini).
        I always have carrots on hand and zucchini is easy to come by year round. I'll be making this often.

      Great and easy recipe. I sautéd sliced onions with the zucchini and carrots.

      The sauteed zucchini and carrots (added mushrooms) were a perfect side to our black pepper chicken and rice.
