This is a really easy recipe that tastes great. Fresh veggies in a light sautee. You can add a cup of cooked pasta if you wish to give it more heft as a side dish. We always make too much pasta during the week so this is a great way to work through some of the leftovers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large or have blemishes, as they may be bitter.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the zucchini plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help the zucchini brown and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the zucchini in batches if necessary.
  • Stir the zucchini frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the skillet.
  • Season the zucchini to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
