Looking for a way to use up some extra zucchini? This saute is simple and delicious. Bonus: it’s easily made dairy-free. In 15 minutes or less, you could have this side dish ready and on the table.
Though I went the mandoline slicer route, you could slice the vegetables by hand as well – so don’t be put off by this recipe if you don’t own or want to use a slicer.
Hater to Lover:
My first introduction to the world of sauteed zucchini was by my mother-in-law at a time when I was sure that I did not like this particular vegetable. Rarely have I been more happy to be wrong. I was transformed from a hater to someone who craves zucchini!
Simple Sauteed Zucchini
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 zucchini large
- 1 red onion medium
- salt, pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the zucchini and onion. I used a mandoline slicer for the thinnest slices - it cooks faster when it's really thin.
- In a medium sized skillet, melt about two tbsp of butter. Add the zucchini and onion, and cook over medium heat. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste - ebb on the side of less. You can add more when serving.
- Cook while stirring regularly, until the zucchini looks limp and the onion is translucent.
