Begin by washing and preparing all the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrot thinly, and slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, allowing them to begin softening.
Add the broccoli florets and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until vibrant and slightly tender.
Introduce the red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the vegetables.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Continue to cook, stirring frequently for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a main entrée with your choice of protein.
