• Carrot - 100 grams, diced
• Red bell pepper - 100 grams, diced
• Mushrooms - 100 grams, diced

2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
3. Add the diced zucchini, carrot, red bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
