Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cups feta cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini and yellow squash. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or half-moons if they are particularly large.
Peel and 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 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly in the oil.
Cook the squash for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften and develops a light golden-brown color.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the squash and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the squash is tender and infused with the thyme’s aroma.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the squash to a serving dish.
Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the top before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sauteed Squash with Thyme and Feta as a delightful side dish!
