Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, and carrot to the skillet.

Step 3

Saute the vegetables while stirring occasionally for about 5-6 minutes, until they start to soften.

Step 4

Add the sliced red onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
