Tips:

  • Slice the zucchini and corn into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing and will become mushy.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help them brown and caramelize, giving them a delicious flavor.
  • Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their natural flavors.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, at the end of cooking: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
  • Serve the medley immediately, while it is still hot and flavorful: You can enjoy it as a side dish, or add it to your favorite pasta, rice, or quinoa bowl.
