Prep Vegetables: Start by washing, peeling, and chopping your chosen vegetables into uniform pieces, ensuring even cooking.

Heat Pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Drizzle in 1-2 tbsp of olive oil until it shimmers.

Cook Aromatics: Add minced garlic and sliced onions, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent.

Add Harder Vegetables: Add julienned carrots and broccoli florets, stir frequently and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add Softer Vegetables: Add sliced bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and snap peas, sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.

Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, drizzle lemon juice or balsamic vinegar and toss gently to combine.

Finish & Serve: Toss vegetables well, garnish with optional toppings, and serve while still vibrant and flavorful.
