Yellow Squash Stir Fry is a quick and flavorful dish rooted in both Southern U.S. and broader Asian-inspired cooking traditions. This vibrant recipe typically combines tender yellow squash with ingredients like garlic, onion, bell peppers, and sometimes soy sauce or fresh herbs for added zest. It's lightly sautéed in olive oil or another heart-healthy fat to retain its natural sweetness and crunch. Yellow squash is a nutrient-dense vegetable, packed with vitamins A, C, and B6, along with potassium and manganese, making it great for supporting immune function, skin health, and energy levels. The fiber content promotes digestion, while the low-calorie profile makes it a great option for weight management. Be mindful, though, of added salt or sugary sauces, which can increase sodium or calorie levels. Overall, it’s a delicious, wholesome side dish or plant-forward main for balanced eating.
