Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prep all your vegetables by washing, peeling (if needed), and slicing them according to the ingredient list. Mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coconut oil and let it melt.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the broccoli florets and carrot slices to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until all vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour in the coconut aminos and sesame oil (if using), then stir to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir one last time to combine.
Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish or main course for a delicious Paleo-friendly meal.
