Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini (courgettes)
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes (if packed in oil) and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and turn slightly golden.
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with crusty bread or over pasta. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
