Mixed Vegetable Medley Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Vegetables

Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Cut them into uniform, bite-sized pieces. Common choices include bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas.

Step 2: Heat Oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat some olive oil or your preferred cooking oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Sauté Aromatics

Add minced garlic and chopped onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 4: Cook Vegetables

Add the harder vegetables first, such as carrots and broccoli. Sauté for 4-5 minutes before adding the softer vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. Continue to sauté until all vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5: Season

Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs and spices. Common options include thyme, basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.

Step 6: Serve

Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Serve immediately as a side dish or over a bed of rice for a main course.
