Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and cut the zucchini and eggplant into half-inch slices. Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, yellow onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
Transfer the seasoned vegetables to a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread them out into an even layer.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and black olives evenly over the top, and return the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish with crusty bread or alongside grilled meats. Enjoy!
