Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 large zucchini cut into rounds
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasonings
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add zucchini, Italian seasonings, salt, pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook until zucchini is tender for about 7 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley.
- Serve warm. Enjoy!
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.
