Wash and prepare all the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds, cut the zucchini into half-moons, and dice the red bell pepper and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet and stir. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften slightly.
Add the zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the vegetables.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried thyme, kosher salt, and ground black pepper over the vegetables. Toss to evenly coat.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve the Veggie Combination warm as a side dish or over a bed of rice, quinoa, or alongside your favorite protein.
