Sweet and Savory Honey-Glazed Sautéed Veggie Snack

Ingredients

- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the Veggies: Start by washing all your vegetables. Slice the mixed bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips to ensure even cooking. Set them aside in a large bowl.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about 2 minutes until it is shimmering but not smoking.

3. Sauté the Onions: Add the sliced red onions to the pan first since they take longer to cook. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent.

4. Add the Peppers and Zucchini: Toss in the sliced bell peppers and zucchini to the pan, and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender yet still crisp.

5. Season the Vegetables: Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

6. Drizzle the Honey: Turn down the heat to low and drizzle the honey over the sautéed vegetables. Gently toss to ensure all the veggies are evenly coated in honey, letting it caramelize slightly for about 2 minutes.

7. Final Touches: Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer your honey-glazed veggies to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

8. Serve: Serve hot as a delightful snack or appetizer, allowing your guests to indulge in the harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors!
