Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds or strips
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (14g) Unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves (9g) Garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp (3g) Kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (8g) Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Slice the zucchini into uniform 1/4-inch rounds or strips to ensure even cooking.
  2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the zucchini in a single layer.
  3. Let the zucchini sit undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until mahogany-colored spots appear, then flip and sauté for another 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and push the zucchini to the edges of the pan. Add the butter and minced garlic to the center.
  5. Stir the garlic in the melting butter for 60 seconds until fragrant, then toss everything together to coat.
  6. Stir in the salt, pepper, and optional parmesan cheese, then remove from heat immediately.
