In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add carrots, salt, and black pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add peas and garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon zest and juice. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Garnish with zest and red pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
