Sautéed zucchini is quick, easy, and healthy. We love cooking the zucchini with butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. That said, we have shared several variations in the article above.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ poundschopped zucchini, 2 medium
  • 1 tablespoonbutter
  • 1 tablespoonminced garlic, 3 cloves
  • 1scallion, thinly sliced, optional
  • 1 teaspoonfresh lemon juice, or more to taste, optional
  • ¼ cupfresh grated parmesan cheese, optional
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    How you cut the zucchini is up to you. You can slice it into rounds, cut it into half moons, or chop it into bite-size pieces.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is browned in places and tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Turn off the heat, stir in the scallions and cheese (if using), and squeeze in lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
