- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme

Wash the zucchini and slice it into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
