Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, and green onions.
Cut the zucchini into thin half-moon slices, the bell peppers into thin strips, and the mushrooms into slices. Mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the green onions, separating the green tops from the white portions.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and the white portion of the green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and garnish with the green tops of the green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately on its own or as a side dish to your favorite keto protein.
