In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it turns fragrant. You’ll know it’s ready when your kitchen starts to smell amazing!

Serve in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh crunch.

For a little kick, consider adding a dash of chili flakes or sriracha. You could also swap out the mixed vegetables for whatever you have in the fridge. Broccoli, spinach, or even frozen peas work well! I love adding a side of garlic butter shrimp for extra protein.
