Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. Cut the vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan; sauté in batches if necessary. Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on what's in season or what you have available. Experiment with different herbs and spices for extra flavor.
