                                          • Heat tilt skillet or large stock pot to medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
                                          • Add the diced squash and carrots, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are brown on all sides and slightly fork tender.
