Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cool water. Peel any that require it, such as carrots, and then cut your vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to warm up for a minute or two. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the minced garlic and thinly sliced onion to the skillet, and sauté them for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Introduce the harder vegetables first, such as julienned carrots and broccoli florets, to the skillet. Stir constantly for 3–4 minutes.

Next, toss in the zucchini, bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, and snap peas. Sauté for an additional 4–5 minutes, stirring often.

Sprinkle your sautéed creation with salt, black pepper, and any optional flavor enhancers like lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. Toss everything together well.

Finally, remove the skillet from the heat and garnish your Healthy Sautéed Vegetables with any desired toppings. Serve immediately.
