A simple, savory, and satisfying dish that works as a main or side!
🥒 Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional add-ins: cherry tomatoes, cooked chicken, bacon bits, or mozzarella
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the zucchini
Slice into half-moons (not too thin—so they don’t get mushy).
2. Heat the pan
Add olive oil + butter over medium heat.
3. Add garlic
Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
4. Cook the zucchini
Add slices to the pan.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.
5. Add cheese
Turn off the heat.
Stir in Parmesan so it melts into a creamy, savory coating.
6. Serve
Top with extra cheese or herbs and enjoy!
