Steamed Vegetable Ribbons

Ingredients:
2 large carrots, peeled
3 small zucchini
2 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions
1. 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.

2. 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.
