Instructions
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.
Saute the vegetables while stirring occasionally for about 5-6 minutes, until they start to soften.
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.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
