Tips:
- Choose small, tender zucchini. Larger zucchini can be tough and seedy.
- Slice the zucchini evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. The zucchini should be in a single layer so that they can brown properly.
- Cook the zucchini over medium heat. This will help them caramelize and develop a nice glaze.
- Don't stir the zucchini too often. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes at a time so that they can develop a nice crust.
- Add the glaze towards the end of cooking. This will help it stick to the zucchini and prevent it from burning.
- Serve the zucchini hot or warm. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.
