This dish comes together fast. It’s perfect if you are trying to savor your zucchini harvest.

Yield: 4 sides
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes

You need this easy sautéed zucchini recipe in your culinary arsenal. For different flavor profiles simple swap out the herbs and aromatics. This is the first zucchini cooking technique I learned as a new cook.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs olive oil
  • 2 Tbs minced shallots
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/8th inch rounds
  • 2 Tbs fresh herbs, finely minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, add oil and shallots. Cook over medium heat. When the shallots start to sizzle, add zucchini in a single layer if possible.
  2. After 6 minutes, turn zucchini over and add herbs, salt and pepper.
    Cook for 6 more minutes or until zucchini is crispy on the outside and golden.
  3. Remove from heat, sprinkle with lemon juice.

Notes

  • You can change the flavor profile by changing out the herbs and shallots. Instead of shallots try garlic. I used tarragon and sage in this recipe but rosemary also works very well.
