Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.

- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to become tender.
- Stir in the chopped green and red bell peppers, as well as the halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the onions until they are slightly caramelized before adding the other vegetables.
- To keep the zucchini from becoming too soggy, cook it just until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Feel free to add other herbs like basil or thyme to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
- If you prefer a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño.
- Serve this medley over rice or quinoa for a complete meal, or alongside grilled chicken or fish.
