Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small zucchini
• 2 cups spinach
• 2 stalks green onion
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic, dice the red bell pepper into small pieces, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and chop the green onions finely. Set the prep aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Toss in the diced red bell pepper and zucchini slices. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened but still vibrant in color.

Step 6

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.

Step 7

Season the vegetables with sea salt, black pepper, and turmeric, stirring to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 8

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet to create space. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side of the skillet.

Step 9

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, then gently stir them using a spatula to create soft curds. Incorporate the vegetables and eggs together once the eggs are mostly cooked.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and green onion. Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo-friendly stir-fry!
