Ingredients
  

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

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

1 cup zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets

1/2 cup snap peas

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: Wash and chop all the vegetables as directed in the ingredients list. Having everything ready will make the cooking process quick and efficient.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Add the Vegetables: Start by adding the broccoli and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

        Incorporate More Veggies: Add the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, and red onion. Continue stir-frying for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender but still crisp.

          Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Pour this sauce over the stir-fried vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.

            Season: Taste the stir fry and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir for another minute to allow the flavors to meld together.

              Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh herbs.

                Create the Charcuterie Board Presentation: If desired, create a fun charcuterie board by arranging the veggie stir fry with assorted dips (like hummus or guacamole) and flavored crackers or pita chips to accompany the dish, making it interactive and delightful for guests.
