  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into whimsical shapes
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced into spirals
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, for a pop of color
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced for vibrancy
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (basil, thyme, rosemary)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: edible flowers or dark leafy greens for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by washing all fresh vegetables thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut carrots into whimsical or gothic-inspired shapes—think twisted or star-shaped cuts to evoke the dark fantasy mood of the film. Slice zucchinis into spirals and halve cherry tomatoes for a vibrant look. Finely dice the red bell pepper and thinly slice the yellow squash for varied textures and colors.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Toss in the carrots, zucchinis, red bell pepper, and yellow squash. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still retain a slight crunch. Add cherry tomatoes in the last 2 minutes so they soften slightly and burst with flavor. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to enhance the gothic and garden-inspired aroma.
  3. Arrange the sautéed vegetables artfully on a rustic platter or bowl resembling an enchanted garden. Garnish with fresh herbs, edible flowers, or dark leafy greens to evoke the gothic setting of Edward Scissorhands, transforming simple vegetables into a cinematic masterpiece.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality vegetables to maximize flavor and presentation.
  • Get creative with vegetable shapes to match the whimsical and gothic theme.
  • Add dark-colored edible flowers for a mysterious cinematic vibe.
  • Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet with a splash of olive oil to preserve freshness.
