This is a delicious recipe and one of my go-to meals! Why is it one of my favorites? It packs a ton of different colors, textures and nutrients with all the different veggies. It is also very versatile; you can swap out the different vegetables based on what you have available or prefer. It is also very easy to make (a one pan meal) and can be doubled/tripled in servings to suit a whole family!
Note: You don’t need to include ALL of these vegetables, but aim for 3-4 different ones! Use what you have and can…don’t be afraid to try different combinations!

DIRECTIONS:
Wash and cut all of your produce (do some of this ahead of time to make this prep time easier!) Using a ceramic or stainless steel pan, spray with coconut or avocado oil spray (you may also use a small amount of either oil). Add all raw ingredients & cook on medium to medium low. Add the protein (if already cooked) and simmer with a cover for a few more minutes.
Once all sauteed to your preference, serve with salad greens, fresh spinach, fresh romaine or shredded lettuce, or optional quinoa/rice…or enjoy as is! Top with the optional condiments (like avocado or raw seeds) and enjoy!
