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.

Notes

I used red onion for the maximum flavor, but you could also use yellow or white onion if you prefer.
Feel free to sub coconut oil for the butter to make this recipe dairy free.
