Preparing the Vegetables
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms, wash and dry all vegetables. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the diced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini. Sauté for 3‑4 minutes until they soften slightly, then stir in the spinach and green onions, cooking just until the spinach wilts. This brief sauté preserves the vegetables’ bright colors and prevents excess moisture from making the bake soggy.
