Preheat oven to 350 °F. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add Onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add Eggplant, bell peppers and tomatoes. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Add parsley,, capers, herbs, salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into an 11- by 7-inch baking dish. (If making ahead, allow casserole to cool completely, cover tightly and refrigerate until 30 minutes before serving.)
