½ cup olive oil

Recipe Notes:

The recipe calls for fresh thyme leaves, as their fresh taste is unmistakable in the dish. However, if you don’t have those handy, dried thyme leaves from your spices cabinet definitely work, too!
The recipe calls for equal beans, corn, and zucchini, but feel free to add more or less of whatever “sister” you like more or less!
