Ingredients
  

Vegetables and Beans
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
Seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.
  3. Toss in the diced bell pepper and zucchini, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften.
  4. Add in the baby spinach, and cook until just wilted—this should only take about a minute.
  5. Add the drained black beans, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and let it heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
  6. Before serving, taste your skillet creation and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Finish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm!

Notes

Vegetable substitutions are encouraged! You can swap zucchini for mushrooms or add diced sweet potatoes for extra sweetness. For additional protein, consider adding tofu or tempeh.
