- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis and trim off the ends. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Chop the fresh dill into small pieces and mince the garlic clove finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Sauté for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and tender.
While cooking, season the zucchini with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Once the zucchini is cooked, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the warm zucchini slices.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and minced garlic over the zucchini for a bright and aromatic flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish for grilled meats, fish, or summer salads.
