Garlic Butter Sautéed Zucchini Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis (washed and sliced into rounds or half-moons)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini: Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. You want them about 1/4-inch thick so they cook evenly.
- Sauté the Garlic: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).
- Cook the Zucchini: Add the zucchini slices to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the garlic butter. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
- Season: Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately as a side dish, or enjoy it on its own!
