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.

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the vegetables to the pan and cook until tender: Stir the vegetables occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are using.
