YELLOW SQUASH AND RED PEPPER SAUTE

Yellow Squash and Red Pepper Saute image

This is my favorite way to have yellow squash. I have to fight my husband for it because he loves it, too. I am estimating all the amounts. I usually just toss mine together with whatever amounts of squash and red pepper I have. I love the bright red and yellow colors dancing in the pan! Sometimes I sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar at the end and let it caramelize on the squash....not as beautiful a color but quite tasty.

Tips:

Choose the right squash. Summer squash, such as zucchini and yellow squash, are best for sautéing because they are tender and cook quickly. Winter squash, such as butternut squash and acorn squash, can also be used, but they will need to be peeled and cubed before cooking.
Cut the squash and peppers into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat. This will help the vegetables brown and caramelize.
Add the squash and peppers to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of squash and peppers you are using.
Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Serve the sautéed squash and peppers immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.

Squash and pepper sauté is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying dish, give this squash and pepper sauté a try!
