Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Dice eggplant and sprinkle with salt; let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

Rinse and pat dry the eggplant, then chop zucchini and bell peppers into similar-sized pieces.

Chop onion and mince garlic finely.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until slightly caramelized.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving, if desired.
