Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add julienned bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
