Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my super simple (but delicious) sautéed veggies recipe. I make this all the time when I need a quick and healthy side dish. You can switch up the veggies based on what you have, but this combo is my favorite!

Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- ½ onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or salt to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- A squeeze of lemon juice (optional, but SO good)
How to Make It:
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic, sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the carrots and bell pepper first (they take a little longer to cook), then after 2 minutes, add the zucchini and broccoli.
- Stir-fry everything for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Add soy sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
- Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for some brightness!
