Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.33 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cook the zucchini, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and evenly distributed.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside your favorite protein.
