Zucchini, red pepper, onion, and tomato cooked down with garlic and Italian herbs in one skillet.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ small onion thinly sliced
1 small zucchini halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 small red bell pepper chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt divided
1 Roma tomato chopped
1 clove garlic minced
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, zucchini, bell pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon of the salt. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring now and then.
Stir in the tomato, garlic, Italian seasoning, the rest of the salt, and the pepper. Cook about 3 minutes more, until the tomato softens and the vegetables are tender.
Spoon it into a bowl and sprinkle with Parmesan, if you like.

Notes

Skip the Parmesan to make it vegan.
