Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchini and apples thoroughly. Cut the zucchini into thin rounds and the apples into thin wedges. Remove the apple cores but leave the skin on for added texture.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the zucchini rounds to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
Add the apple wedges to the skillet. Sprinkle with lemon juice and stir well to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate the flavors evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the dish to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked grains, such as quinoa or brown rice, for a light main course.
