Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Small zucchini, diced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Frozen lima beans, thawed
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced zucchini and red bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the thawed lima beans and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to meld together.
Gently mix in the cherry tomatoes and green onions. Cook for 2 more minutes, just until the tomatoes start to soften but still retain their shape.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves. Season the succotash with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or light entrée.
