Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups diced butternut squash
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 eggplant, diced
2 cups broccoli florets
3 green onion, sliced, with white and green parts separated
3 garlic cloves

Soy Balsamic Sauce

2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos

* In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.
