Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium bell peppers (any color)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Peel and slice the garlic cloves. Chop the onion, zucchini, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion to the pot, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the chopped zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli florets, and cauliflower florets to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the olive oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot with a lid. Allow the vegetables to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the cherry tomatoes to the pot and stir them into the simmering vegetables.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley for added flavor and vibrancy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the simmered vegetables warm as a side dish or a light main course.
