Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 small zucchini
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 small yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare all vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini into half-moons, peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, chop the onion finely, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the carrots to the pan and sauté for another 3 minutes since they take longer to cook.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning over the vegetables. Stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 7

Reduce heat to low and stir in the lemon juice for a bright touch of acidity.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or pair with your favorite grain for a complete meal. Enjoy!
