Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 medium (diced) red bell pepper
- 1 medium (sliced into half-moons) zucchini
- 1 medium (sliced into half-moons) yellow squash
- 2 cups broccoli florets

Instructions
Wash and prepare all vegetables: dice the bell pepper, slice the zucchini and yellow squash, separate broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrots, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli florets, and carrots to the skillet. Cook while stirring frequently for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften but remain crisp.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through and combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice over the veggies. Toss gently to mix.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or pair with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
