Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized yellow squash
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry all produce. Slice the yellow squash into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick). Halve the grape tomatoes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the yellow squash slices to the skillet in a single layer, if possible. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook the squash for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and develop a light golden color.
Add the grape tomatoes to the skillet along with the dried oregano. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or over rice, quinoa, or pasta for a light vegetarian meal.
