Instructions
Wash and prepare all the vegetables as instructed in the ingredient list, ensuring they are evenly sliced for uniform cooking.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften but still maintain a crisp texture.
Add the zucchini and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Drizzle the soy sauce and lemon juice over the vegetables, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss everything well to combine and evenly coat the vegetables.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light, standalone meal.
