Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this amazing stir fry:

Print

• 
  

  2 tablespoons avocado oil

• 1/2 cup diced onion

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 1 orange bell pepper, diced

• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced

• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced

• 1 cup sliced mushrooms

• 2 heaping cups broccoli florets

• 1 cup sugar snap or snow peas

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1/2 – 2/3 cup all-purpose stir fry sauce, or another stir fry sauce of choice

  
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Veggies: First things first, get all your veggies nice and ready. Dice your onion and bell peppers, slice the celery and carrots, and chop the garlic and mushrooms. Having everything prepped makes the cooking process smooth and enjoyable.

2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they become translucent, usually about 3-4 minutes. This step brings out that lovely sweetness!

3. Add the Hearty Veggies: Toss in the bell peppers, celery, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.

4. Introduce the Mushrooms & Broccoli: Add the sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly as you want the broccoli to soften but still retain a bit of bite.

5. Garlic & Sugar Snap Peas: Now, add the chopped garlic and snow peas. Cook for about a minute, stirring to combine the flavors. The garlic should become fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.

6. Sauce it Up: Pour in the stir-fry sauce. Make sure all the vegetables are evenly coated. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

7. Serve and Enjoy! Serve your delicious Easy Gluten-Free Stir Fry Veggies immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional). Serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal! You can also check out our family favorite, this recipe for Easy Cheesy Ground Beef Casserole as another great option.
