one thing i love to do is "blanch" the veggies (works best with asparagus, broccoli, green beans, brussel spourts) then "shocking" them

blanching in dropping them in boiling salted water for a few minutes til the colour changes to a bright dark green and removing them before they turn greyish

shocking is then dropping them in ice water to stop the cooking

doing this insures the veggies are still al dente and not overcooked

it is a restaurant technique but insures spectacular results

any way you can do this a few days in advance if need me

i do alot then add them to my salads
but i digress

what i do is take some whole butter and put it over a medium heat
and let the butter brown while gently shaking the pan
then i add my favourite nuts, chopped
works great with almonds, hazelnuts, macadamias, walnuts, sunflower seeds, or sesame seeds

then toss in the veggies to reheat them add alittle sea salt and black pepper
can add grated lemon zest if you wish
or chili flakes

can also use toasted sesame oil
organic coconut oil is good too

can add chopped fresh herbs
thyme, tarragon, basil, lemon verbena, and curry leaf works well here

another good thing is saute some fresh chopped garlic in some good olive oil
add fresh chopped tomatoes (great during the summer)
gently warm through
add veggies
and lots of fresh basil and salt and pepper

green beans, zucchini and broccoli go well with this method

can substitute tarragon for basil and use for asparagus

you may even instead of blanching the veggies
grill em over some nice hot coals and then using them as prescribed above
