Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchinis, then slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Dice the red bell pepper and onion into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the garlic and parsley, keeping them separate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the sliced zucchini, and season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Continue cooking and stirring occasionally for another 8-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a light, healthy main course.
