Ingredients
  

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green), julienned

1 cup zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets

1/2 cup snap peas, trimmed

1/2 cup mini cucumbers, sliced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or basil), for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep Your Veggies: Start by washing all vegetables thoroughly. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, julienne the bell peppers, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and prepare the cherry tomatoes and mini cucumbers as indicated. Thinly slice the red onion. Having all your veggies prepped will streamline the cooking process.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

      Add the Vegetables: Begin by adding the broccoli florets and julienned bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry these for about 3 minutes until they start to soften and their colors brighten.

        Incorporate More Veggies: Next, add the zucchini slices, halved cherry tomatoes, snap peas, and thinly sliced red onion. Continue stir-frying for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain vibrant and slightly tender while still crisp.

          Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Whisk the mixture together until well blended. Pour this sauce over the stir-fried vegetables, tossing them gently to ensure even coating.

            Season: Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Stir for another minute to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.

              Serve: Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer it to a serving dish. For added flair, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a handful of fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.

                Create the Charcuterie Board Presentation: For a fun and interactive twist, assemble a charcuterie board alongside the stir fry. Arrange the veggie stir fry alongside an assortment of dips, such as hummus or guacamole, and include various flavored crackers or pita chips. This way, guests can enjoy a delightful mix of textures and tastes!
