Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.

- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Plate the zucchini scramble and enjoy it hot as a hearty breakfast or light lunch.
Tips:
- Make sure to dice the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some herbs like basil or oregano into the scramble.
- Cook the vegetables until they are just tender to maintain some texture.
