Sauted Zucchini Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Sauted zucchini is a perfect example of how simply-prepared food can be so tasty. Sliced and prepared quickly and easily in a skillet on the stovetop, this recipe is a no-brainer any night of the week. As any gardener will tell you, zucchini comes from a prolific summertime plant. It's from the summer squash family along with yellow varieties like crookneck. When shopping for the green veggie, look for brightly colored, unblemished, and firm zucchini. Store in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator for up to a few days and use it before the zucchini becomes wrinkly. As with all zucchini recipes, sauted zucchini tastes best when fresh zucchini is in season. If you have a glut of summer squash, make this side dish to serve alongside chicken, fish, beef, or a vegetarian main. It's easy to put your own spin on this recipe by adding other veggies, spices or herbs, and more. Don't skimp on the salt since it helps bring out zucchini's delicate flavor.
