Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the chopped zucchini and broccoli florets to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
