Incorporating honey into your Colorful Charcuterie Board Veggie Stir Fry enhances the dish with a subtle sweetness that beautifully balances the savory and spicy elements. Honey acts as a natural sweetener, allowing the vibrant flavors of your vegetables to shine through while providing a rich, glossy finish to the stir fry. When using honey, opt for raw or local varieties if possible, as they often retain more nutrients and are free from processing chemicals.

Ingredients
  

1 cup colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced

1 cup zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

½ cup red onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

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

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon honey (optional)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Trim the snap peas and set everything aside in separate bowls for easy access.

    Make the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (if using), grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set this sauce mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced red onion and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it begins to soften.

        Add Remaining Vegetables: Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry these vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they are vibrant and slightly tender but still crisp.

          Incorporate Garlic and Tomatoes: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the empty space. Allow them to cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, then mix everything together.

            Pour in the Sauce: Drizzle the stir-fry sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat them evenly. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and the vegetables to absorb the flavors. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked to your desired level of tenderness, remove the stir-fry from the heat. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl, then sprinkle sesame seeds over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro or thinly sliced green onions if desired.
