How To Make Skillet Zucchini

Melt 1 teaspoon butter in skillet. Add chopped red onion and sliced mushrooms; sauté on medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until mushrooms have softened, and are cooked through.

Mushrooms and red onions cooking in a large skillet.

Add sliced zucchini and red pepper to the skillet. I kept the mushrooms in the skillet, but moved them to the side while cooking zucchini. Continue cooking and and stirring this skillet zucchini mixture for 4-5 minutes until zucchini is cooked through (but not too soft).

Sliced zucchini and red peppers are added to the mushrooms in the skillet.

Time For Some Seasoning

Add minced garlic to the veggies, and cook for an additional minute, stirring often. Be careful to NOT let the garlic burn. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.

Minced garlic, and spices are added to the skillet zucchini.

Serve The Skillet Zucchini

When done, pour the sautéed vegetables into a serving bowl. Finely grate fresh Parmesan cheese over the top of the vegetables while they are still hot, so it melts.

Finely grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over the skillet zucchini before serving.

Serve this simple skillet zucchini dish while it is still hot… and enjoy! It’s a nice combination of vegetables, and the colors make it more tempting to want to dig in! I enjoyed creating and eating this vegetable dish, and the recipe can be EASILY doubled.

Sometimes it’s more fun to have a mixture of colorful, tasty veggies than to just have a lump of broccoli on the plate. Amen! Have a GREAT day!
