Italian Zucchini & Pepper Sauté

This simple side dish is the perfect (and easiest) way to incorporate more greens into your day! Chances are, you have most of these veggies already in your fridge…or perhaps you weren’t sure what to do with them until now! What’s even better is that you’re getting some extra protein with the added eggs.

Yield: 3-4 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil

  • 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
