4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into ¾-inch pieces
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into ¾-inch pieces
1 medium eggplant (about 1 lb), cut into ¾-inch cubes
2 medium zucchini (about 1 lb total), cut into ¾-inch half-moons

Instructions

1
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 6–7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the red and yellow bell peppers along with another tablespoon of olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers begin to soften and their edges turn slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
