Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until the spinach has wilted.
Remove the skillet from heat and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the veggies.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.
