Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the zucchini, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic.

    Ensure the pieces are uniform for even cooking.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables

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

    Do not let the garlic brown to avoid bitterness.
  3. Add Zucchini and Bell Pepper

    Stir in the zucchini and red bell pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

    Keep stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Season

    Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for another 10 minutes.
