Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 2 medium summer squashes, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep your veggies. Start by washing the zucchinis and summer squashes thoroughly. Slice them into half-inch rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

  3. Sauté the garlic. Add the minced garlic first, and sauté for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced veggies. Toss in the sliced zucchini and summer squash.

  6. Garnish and serve. As soon as the zucchini and summer squash are tender, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider a splash of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Experiment with adding proteins or different herbs for variation.
