Ingredient Notes
The four ingredients you’ll need are bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and feta cheese. For bell peppers, any color will do, but I recommend using a mix for visual appeal. Substitute zucchini with yellow squash if preferred. Use crumbled feta for the best flavor, and feel free to swap it with a dairy-free cheese if needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add sliced bell peppers and diced zucchini; stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender.
- Toss in halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3 minutes until they soften.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese before serving. Enjoy warm!.
Things I’ve Learned
Always prep your veggies beforehand to streamline your cooking process. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to retain the texture. You can easily make this dish ahead of time; just skip adding the feta until you’re ready to serve.
