  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan and add onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add eggplant, and stir to coat with oil. Add peppers and zucchini and stir to combine. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
