Wash and prepare the vegetables by peeling, trimming, and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Fill a large pot with water, about 2 inches deep, and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Place a steamer basket or a metal colander inside the pot, ensuring that it doesn’t touch the water.
Add the prepared vegetables to the steamer basket, making sure they are evenly spread out.
Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes or until they are tender but still retain some crispness. Be careful not to overcook them.
Once the vegetables are steamed, remove them from the pot and transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the steamed vegetables for added flavour and moisture.
Toss the vegetables gently to coat them evenly with the olive oil.
Serve the steamed vegetables as a side dish or as a healthy addition to your main course.
