Notes

Feel free to substitute any vegetables you have on hand! Timing is key; don't overcook the vegetables; aim for tender-crisp. If things start to stick, add a splash of water or broth to deglaze the pan. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for up to 2 months.
