A simple recipe with zucchini Incredibly delicious

1. Prepare the Zucchini:

  • Wash and dry the zucchinis.
  • Cut them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

2. Sauté:

  • Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t let it burn!).

3. Cook the Zucchini:

  • Add the zucchini slices to the pan.
  • Spread them out so they’re mostly in a single layer (this helps them brown nicely).
  • Cook without stirring for 2–3 minutes to get some golden edges.
  • Stir and cook for another 3–4 minutes until tender but not mushy.

4. Season:

  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if using.
  • Toss lightly to coat.

5. Finish and Serve:

  • Remove from heat and, if desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped herbs.
  • Serve hot as a side dish, toss into pasta, or even top with a fried egg for a simple meal.

Extra Tips:

  • Add a little lemon zest or juice right at the end for a bright, fresh finish.
  • For a spicier version, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking.
  • Want even more richness? Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil before serving.
