EASIEST SAUTEED ZUCCHINI EVER



Easiest Sauteed Zucchini Ever image

One of my mother's favorites for when she was rushed and wanted a vegetable side dish that was quick, simple and tasty. She didn't measure the soy sauce, just sprinkled it with the plastic "sprinkling top" (I don't know what else to call it) on the bottle, so I'm just guessing at the amount. These days, I use light (lower-sodium) soy sauce. If you like, jazz it up with the herb of your choice, but I like it just as is. (Occasionally I sprinkle with my favorite herb thyme.)

SPICY ZUCCHINI

This was so good last night, I don't want to forget what I did! This was a great side dish for cheese enchiladas. Adjust the seasonings according to your tastes and the age of your kids. I used the lower end for my 6yo (who ate it without protest) and 20mo (who was not so fond of it). If I were to cook this for just the adults at my house, I would use the upper end. I used really small zucchini for this, less than an inch in diameter and about 5-6 inches long.

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 onion, thinly sliced
4 small zucchini
1 -3 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -3 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet and begin heating over medium high heat.
  • Meanwhile, slice onion and cut zucchini into 1/4" rounds.
  • Once oil is nice and hot, saute onion until it is starting to carmelize (about 2 minutes).
  • Add zucchini and seasonings. Turn heat down slightly (to medium), and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Zucchini should be yellow with some brown spots, slightly transparent looking and soft without being mushy. Onions should be thoroughly carmelized and yummy. :).
