Parmesan Lemon Zucchini Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by junerodgers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 zucchinis, thinly sliced to 1/2-inch thick rounds
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Working in batches, add zucchini, thyme and lemon zest. Cook, flipping once, until golden, about 1-2 minutes on each side; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a crisp texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid using zucchini that is old or has blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly: Thinly sliced zucchini will cook quickly and evenly. You can use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the zucchini.
  • Season the zucchini well: Zucchini is a mild-flavored vegetable, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the zucchini over medium heat: Medium heat will help the zucchini cook evenly without burning. Be careful not to overcook the zucchini, as it will become mushy.
  • Add the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese at the end: Adding the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese at the end will help to brighten the flavors of the zucchini.

Conclusion:

Parmesan lemon zucchini is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy zucchini. The lemon juice and Parmesan cheese add a bright and tangy flavor that will complement any main course.
