- 2 medium zucchini

- 1 yellow onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice 2 medium zucchini 1/2-inch thick, cut 1 red bell pepper into strips, and cut 1 yellow onion into 1/2-inch wedges.
