Wash and prepare all the vegetables as instructed in the ingredients list (sliced, diced, etc.).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Place the sautéed onion and garlic at the bottom of the crock pot.
Layer the carrots, potatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli florets, and green beans on top of the onion and garlic in the crock pot.
In a small bowl, mix the vegetable stock, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pour the seasoned vegetable stock evenly over the vegetables in the crock pot.
Gently stir the vegetables to ensure they are coated with the liquid and seasonings.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or on its own as a light meal. Enjoy!
