Begin by preparing your ingredients. Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrot thinly crosswise, and slice the red bell pepper into strips.
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside for later use.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sesame oil to the pan.
Once the oils are hot, add the broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but are still crisp.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the pan and continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes, allowing the pepper to become slightly tender.
Stir in the prepared coconut aminos mixture to the skillet, making sure all vegetables are well coated. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Reduce heat to low, and add the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together gently and cook for 1 more minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the broccoli stir-fry hot. Enjoy as a standalone dish or pair it with a protein of your choice.
