Description
Parmesan Zucchini is an easy dish I make all summer. It takes less than 10 minutes from start to finish, uses just a few simple ingredients, and my family loves it!
Equipment
Large Skillet
Ingredients
2tablespoonextra virgin olive oil
3garlic cloves, sliced very thin
2medium zucchini, 14 oz total sliced in 1/4 inch thick half moons
½teaspoonkosher salt and black pepper, to taste
â…“cupgrated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, when hot and add 1 ½ tablespoons oil and the garlic and cook until golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Increase the heat to high, add the zucchini, season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper, to taste and cook until it begins to brown on the bottom, about 1 minute.
- Stir to flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until it’s slightly browns and becomes tender-crisp (you don’t want this to cook too long or it will get mushy and watery).
- Quickly transfer it to a serving dish or platter and top with cheese and black pepper. The heat from the zucchini will melt the cheese slightly, creating a delicious coating.
