Notes

I like to use unsalted butter as we season with salt. If you only have salted butter, make sure to adjust the added salt.
Garlic burns quickly, so keep a close eye when sautéing.
There's no need to peel the zucchini before cooking.
Zucchini is done once tender and golden!
To store: I don't recommend storing this zucchini dish for more than a few days as it'll get soggy over time.
To reheat: Gently reheat on the stove to try to prevent the zucchini from getting soggy.
