  3. Sauté the garlic: Add minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Cook the carrots: Immediately add carrot rounds to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Add asparagus and zucchini: Toss in the chopped asparagus and zucchini; stir for about 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Incorporate bell peppers and mushrooms: Add bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Season the vegetables: Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and desired seasonings over the vegetables, cooking for an additional minute.
  8. Finish with lemon and cheese: Remove skillet from heat and drizzle sautéed vegetables with lemon juice and add Parmesan cheese.
