Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cool running water.
Cut the green tomatoes into wedges (about 6-8 wedges per tomato).
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Peel and thinly slice the carrot into matchsticks or rounds.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pan, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the carrot and red bell pepper to the pan, cooking for another 4-5 minutes to soften.
Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.
Add the green tomatoes and zucchini to the pan, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the vegetables cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green tomatoes are tender and starting to release their juices.
Optional: Remove the lid for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking if any liquid needs to evaporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer the Green Tomatoes Veggies to a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice, quinoa, or pasta for a heartier meal.
