Wash and prepare all vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the zucchini and yellow squash into half-moons, cut the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the mushrooms.
Mince the garlic and finely grate or mince the ginger. Set both aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 5–6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Drizzle the coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce) and sesame oil over the vegetables. Toss everything to coat evenly and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fry vegetables to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
