Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 medium lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the zucchini into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat in the garlic-infused oil.
Sauté the zucchini for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and develop a slight golden color.
While the zucchini cooks, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces. Finely chop the fresh dill and parsley.
Once the zucchini is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Add the lemon zest and juice from half the lemon, stirring to combine.
Transfer the sautéed zucchini to a serving platter or bowl.
Top the zucchini with crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, parsley, and an extra drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light vegetarian main. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon wedges for squeezing.
