Here’s how to make the best sauteed vegetables! This is your roadmap to perfectly crisp-tender, brightly colored, and flavor-packed veggies every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 multi-colored bell peppers (we used red and yellow)
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 head broccoli (8 ounces, stem on) 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice the peppers. Slice the onion. Cut the carrot into thin rounds, on the bias. Cut the broccoli into small florets.
  2. Toss the vegetables in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the oregano, kosher salt and plenty of fresh ground black pepper.
  3. In large skillet*, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until tender and lightly charred, stirring occasionally. Taste and add a few pinches of additional salt to taste. Serve immediately. 

Notes

*Aluminum, copper, or cast iron pans are best, since they get the best browning. You can also use non-stick, but it won’t have the same level of browning.

Variation: Try adding one of the following seasoning blends to taste: fajita seasoning, taco seasoning, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning or Greek seasoning, or Old Bay.
