Steps:
- For the vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli; cook for another minute. Add the red peppers; cook 1 minute more. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

- For the sauce: Add the garlic and onions to the skillet, and cook until starting to turn translucent, about 2 minutes.
