Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables - Start by washing the bell peppers and red onion under cool water. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, removing the seeds and stems. For the red onion, peel off the outer layer and slice it into thin wedges.
  2. Step 2: Heat the Skillet - Place your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sunflower oil and let it heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables - Once the oil is hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Spread them out evenly to allow for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: Season the Veggies - Sprinkle the oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the seasonings.
  5. Step 5: Cook Until Tender - Continue to sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender yet still with a bit of crunch.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once the veggies are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat and transfer them to a serving dish.

Notes

  • For a fresh crunch, consider adding seasonal veggies like asparagus in spring or zucchini in summer.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or microwave, but avoid overcooking.
