Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
Trim the ends of the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the olive oil.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves, chopped rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper over the zucchini.
Cook the zucchini for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender but not mushy.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the zucchini for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
