Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions (optional for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all vegetables. Cut the zucchini into thin half-moons, slice the carrots into matchsticks, julienne the red bell pepper, and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil or avocado oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the onion slices and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring frequently to prevent burning, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Toss in the carrots and red bell pepper. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.

Step 6

Add the zucchini to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Drizzle the coconut aminos and sesame oil over the vegetables. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 8

Remove the stir fry from heat and taste. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with optional green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
