1. Sauté the Aromatics:

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add onions and garlic, sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

2. Cook the Ground Beef:

Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if needed.

3. Add the Vegetables & Spices:

Stir in red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.

Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Cook for 5 more minutes, until veggies are slightly tender but still crisp.

4. Finish & Serve:

Drizzle with remaining tablespoon of olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish. 🍋

Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley for a Mediterranean touch. 🌿🧀

5. Enjoy!

Serve as-is for a low-carb meal, or pair with rice, quinoa, or warm pita bread.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

💡 Tips for Success:
