Teriyaki Broccoli and Peppers Recipe

Teriyaki dishes are one of my favourite foods. I could eat teriyaki bowls on a daily basis because they are always such delicious recipes. And this teriyaki broccoli and peppers recipe is no exception. So easy to make and packed full of flavour you will also love how easy this dish is to make. It’s perfect as a side dish but feel free to add a bit of protein such as chicken breasts to turn it into a complete meal. These vegetables also store well in the fridge and make great leftovers.

  • It’s so versatile and can be made with either soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • It’s quick and easy to make and ready in less than 20 minutes
  • It makes great leftovers and can be made into a complete meal by adding a bit of protein such as chicken breasts
  • It’s great for meal prep and you can easily make a double or triple batch if you’re feeding a crowd

Step by step directions for making teriyaki broccoli and peppers

First add the coconut oil to a pan on medium high heat and let it melt. Once it’s melted, add the broccoli and let it cook for a few minutes. Then add the peppers and cook everything for another few minutes.

Add the teriyaki sauce and stir all the vegetables until they are coated and then cook the vegetables for another 5-10 minutes, until they reach the texture you like.

Serving ideas for these Teriyaki Vegetables:

  • Add a protein of choice (such as cooked chicken breasts, pork, beef) to make it a complete meal
  • Serve over white rice or cauliflower rice
  • Top it with sesame seeds or crushed nuts such as cashews or peanuts
  • I love topping these vegetables with bean sprouts for a little extra crunch

Variations on this Teriyaki Broccoli Dish:

  • If you don’t have coconut oil you can use avocado oil or olive oil instead
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, celery or cauliflower
  • Instead of coconut aminos you can use soy sauce or another gluten free soy sauce substitute
  • Add a bit of rice vinegar, sesame oil or rice wine for a slightly different flavour

Frequently asked questions:

How do you store these vegetables?

They make great leftovers if stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 5 days.

Can you freeze this recipe?

I wouldn’t recommend it. The vegetables will get really soggy when you re-heat them.
