  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  6. In same skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, scallions, and string beans. Cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
