Choose the right squash: Look for small, firm squash with bright green skin. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
Cut the squash into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a variety of squash, cut each type into similarly sized pieces.
Sauté the squash in a hot pan: This will help to caramelize the squash and give it a slightly crispy texture. Be sure to stir the squash frequently so that it doesn't burn.
Add your favorite vegetables: Some good options include onions, peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini.
Season the stir fry to your liking: Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper are a good starting point. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, basil, or oregano.
Serve the stir fry over rice or pasta: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
