Notes

Tip 1: Ensure your vegetables are completely dry before adding them to the hot pan to get a good sear.
Tip 2: Do not overcrowd the pan. If necessary, cook the vegetables in two separate batches to prevent them from steaming.
Tip 3: Feel free to substitute with any vegetables you have on hand, just be mindful of their different cooking times.
