Sauteed zucchini is a quick, easy, and healthy side. We love simply sauteed zucchini with a bit of minced garlic, salt, and pepper. That said, we have shared quite a few variations in the article above.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ pounds chopped zucchini (2 medium)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice or red wine vinegar, optional
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan or pecorino cheese, optional
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    It’s up to you as to how you cut the zucchini. You can slice the zucchini into rounds, cut into half moons or chop into bitesize 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, and then stir in the scallions, a squeeze of lemon juice, and cheese (if using). Taste, and then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
