CHEESY SQUASH

I'm a retired police officer and now a deputy sheriff who loves to cook. But with my busy schedule, I must rely on speedy side dishes like this one. The squash retains its fresh taste and cooks to a perfect tender crispness. You can give this cheesy treatment to other fresh veggies, too. It's so quick that I make some variation of it a few times a week. Everyone loves it!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini and yellow squash. If you don't have fresh vegetables, you can use frozen or canned zucchini and squash, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • To make sure the vegetables are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the vegetables. If you do, they will not cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender, but still slightly crisp.
  • Season the vegetables to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Serve the fried zucchini and yellow squash immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Fried zucchini and yellow squash is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh vegetables, and it can also be a healthy snack or appetizer. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying dish that everyone will love.
