Easy Sautéed Zucchini

Author: Inspired Taste

You Will Need

1 ¼ pounds chopped zucchini, 2 medium

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon minced garlic, 3 cloves

1 scallion, thinly sliced, optional

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or more to taste, optional

1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese, optional

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

Directions

• 1How 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.

  2Melt 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.

  3Turn 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.

Tips

• Vegan modification: Substitute the butter with olive oil or plant-based butter, and either leave out the cheese or replace the parmesan with a bit of nutritional yeast.

• Alternatives to parmesan cheese include feta cheese, goat cheese, or a sharp cheddar.
