Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchini: Wash and slice 4 medium zucchinis into approximately 1/4-inch rounds to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to coat the pan evenly and become fragrant but not browned.
- Sauté the garlic: Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Cook the zucchini: Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp and has a slight golden color.
- Season: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all flavors.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately as a healthy and delicious side dish.
Notes
- Do not overcook the zucchini to maintain its slight crispness and bright color.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil or your preferred cooking oil.
- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.
- You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a fresh touch.
