Ingredients
2 cups broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced or halved
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the bell peppers and onion, and prepare the mushrooms and garlic.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add broccoli to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes.
5. Stir in the sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms.
6. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
7. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7–9 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
8. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice just before serving.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—use a wide skillet to help vegetables brown instead of steam.
For meal prep, cook a large batch and refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
