Wash and prepare all vegetables: cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms as directed in the ingredients.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
Add the zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour in the coconut aminos, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer more saltiness, add a little more coconut aminos.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
