Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 cup broccoli
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini, red bell pepper, and broccoli. Slice the zucchini into thin half-moons, the red bell pepper into strips, and cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms and slice them into thin pieces. Mince the garlic and grate or finely mince the ginger.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli to the skillet and stir fry for 2 minutes, followed by the red bell pepper and mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6

Toss in the zucchini slices and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Drizzle the sesame oil and soy sauce (or tamari) over the mixture, and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Season with red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir fry for 1 more minute to combine all the flavors.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or pair with a protein of your choice for a complete low-carb meal.
