- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)

- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened and translucent.

Add the red and green bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.

Add the diced zucchini to the skillet and sauté for another 5-10 minutes until all vegetables are tender but not mushy.
