6 baby green pattypan squash, each cut into 6 pieces
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 12-ounce bag cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the corn properly: Husk the corn and remove the silks. Cut the kernels off the cob, or leave them whole if desired.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to corn, you can add other vegetables to your sauté, such as bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and tomatoes.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Cook over medium heat: Sauté the corn and vegetables over medium heat until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
