Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis

- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved

- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
