Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the zucchini and red bell peppers thoroughly.
- Cut the zucchini into quarter-inch thick slices or half-moons.

- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
