Steamed Vegetable Ribbons

Ingredients

• 2 large carrots, peeled
• 3 small zucchini
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

With a swivel vegetable peeler, shave carrots lengthwise into wide ribbons. Repeat with zucchini, shaving long, wide strips from all sides until you reach the seedy core. Discard the core.

Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add the carrots; cover and steam for 2 minutes. Place the zucchini over the carrots; cover and steam until the vegetables are just tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl. Toss with oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
