How to Make

To prepare your Garlic Veggies Light, start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Next, introduce the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender but still crisp.

Make-Ahead

You can chop the veggies a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you’re ready to cook!

Storing

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing

While it’s best fresh, you can freeze Garlic Veggies Light. Just make sure to cool them completely, then place in a freezer-safe container for up to a month.

Reheating

Reheat in a microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warm. You may want to add a splash of water or olive oil to bring back some moisture.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish, or even a hearty grain like quinoa or brown rice. Serve with a slice of lemon for an extra zing!
