Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water.
Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrots thinly on a diagonal, cut the zucchini into half-moon slices, and dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add the broccoli and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the zucchini and red bell pepper, continuing to cook for another 3-4 minutes until all the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Sprinkle the vegetables with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.
If desired, drizzle with lemon juice before serving to add a zesty finish.
Transfer the vegetable medley to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
