For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply cook the butter over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the vegetables. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for added complexity.

Apr 22, 2025I didn't have fresh garlic, so I used garlic powder. It still turned out great, but I'll try it with fresh garlic next time.
