In just 10 minutes, slices of fresh zucchini quickly sautéed in olive oil with garlic and shallot become the perfect, versatile side for any meal that is so simple to prepare.
optional: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme or parsley
Instructions
Cut the zucchini into bite-sized pieces. You can make rounds, quarters, halves or sticks - whatever shape you prefer.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it shimmer.
Add the zucchini pieces to the hot skillet. Do not stir for 2 minutes to let the zucchini start browning.
Add the chopped garlic and shallot. Sauté for 4-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is lightly browned and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on the parmesan cheese over the zucchini and add chopped fresh herbs if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Yellow squash and other veggies with a similar texture to zucchini can be added to the mix.
