Notes

This dish is very adaptable! Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what you have on hand.
Make it creamier by adding a splash of coconut milk or cream at the end of cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water to keep it moist.
