Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Wash and dry the yellow squash. Slice each squash into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced yellow squash to the skillet. Stir to coat the squash evenly with the garlic and oil.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the squash. Stir well to distribute the seasoning.
Cook the squash for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and lightly golden.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the squash immediately while it’s still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
