Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms
- 1 small yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the zucchini and mushrooms. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and quarter the mushrooms.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced zucchini and quartered mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried Italian seasoning. Stir well to evenly coat the zucchini and mushrooms.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the vegetables, if using. Let the cheese melt slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
