Continue sautéing the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to meld together and develop a deliciously tender texture.
-
Season with salt and pepper according to your personal taste. This step adds depth and brings out the natural flavors of the vegetables.
-
Sauté everything until the veggies are perfectly tender, making sure they are cooked through but still maintain their vibrant color.
-
Once done, serve and enjoy! This simple yet satisfying dish makes for a perfect side or light main course.
