Tips:

  • Choose fresh, vibrant vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the final dish, so select those that are firm, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the vegetables uniformly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Additionally, try to cut them into bite-sized pieces, so they can easily be enjoyed with a fork.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will provide ample space for the vegetables to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and lock in their flavors.
  • Add the vegetables in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently: This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables as desired: You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You want the vegetables to retain some of their crunch, so don't overcook them.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed vegetables are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
