Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 medium yellow squash
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all vegetables. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds, julienne the red bell pepper, cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces, and slice the baby carrots thinly if they are too thick.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the carrots and broccoli to the skillet first, as they take longer to cook. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Next, add the zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 5

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Gently toss to combine.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables in the cheese.

Step 7

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
