Description
A quick and healthy side dish made with sautéed zucchini, mushrooms, and onions, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis (sliced into half-moons, about 1 pound)
- 8 ounces mushrooms (buttons or cremini, sliced)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- To taste salt
- To taste black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing the zucchinis and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into half-moons, slice the mushrooms, and thinly slice the onion. Don’t forget to mince the garlic!
- Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat for about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté them for about 3 minutes, or until they start to soften and become translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms become tender and start to release their moisture.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme if you’re using it. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Check the seasoning and add more salt or pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!
