Description

Tender zucchini rounds sizzle in a buttery pan, mingling with fragrant garlic and olive oil. The edges brown slightly for a hint of sweetness, while fresh parsley brightens every bite.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 clove garlic (minced)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)


Instructions

  1. Wash zucchini and slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add zucchini slices, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat.
  5. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and lightly browned.
  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Zucchini cooks quickly so watch to prevent overcooking.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or pasta.
  • Best enjoyed fresh off the stove.
