• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 medium, sliced bell peppers (any color)
• 1 medium, sliced into half-moons zucchini
• 1.5 cups, halved cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup, crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the cherry tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the spinach has wilted.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the veggies.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.
