This sautéed vegetable dish is cozy, savory, and naturally sweet. Mushrooms bring depth and umami, pumpkin adds tenderness and warmth, and sweet peppers brighten the pan with color and balance. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect as a side or light main.

This is Let’s Veg comfort from the skillet.
