Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Finely chop the garlic cloves and dice the yellow onion. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5
Season the vegetable mixture with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Toss well to evenly coat.
