Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the yellow squash thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel the onion and cut it into thin slices.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
Add the yellow squash slices to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Sauté the squash for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the squash and onions before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish for grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
