  8. Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

Chop veggies evenly for even cooking. Add red pepper flakes for heat. For a protein boost, consider adding lentils or chickpeas. Keeps well for 3-5 days in the fridge; can be frozen for up to 3 months.
