- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Clean and slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, and chop any additional veggies.
- Heat the pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add minced garlic, sautéing briefly until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, allowing them to gain a nice golden color (about 5 minutes).
- Incorporate the zucchini, bell pepper, and herbs, cooking until veggies are tender but still vibrant (another 3-5 minutes).
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon before serving warm.
Notes
Mushrooms are low in calories but high in antioxidants. Serve over a fluffy bed of quinoa or alongside grilled chicken or salmon.
