Ingredients

1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) olive oil
1-2 tablespoons (28g) butter
2-3 teaspoons (6-8g) garlic, minced
½ onion, sliced
1 teaspoon (1.5g) Italian Seasoning
4 medium zucchini
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
½ cup (45g) parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the garlic and saute for about a minute or until fragrant; don't let it brown. Then add onions and Italian seasoning. Saute for another minute.
After that, add the zucchini, salt, and pepper, and cook for about five minutes or until the zucchini slices are tender but still slightly crunchy.
Transfer the squash to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Cut the zucchini into uniform slices to ensure even cooking and an attractive side.
Don't thoroughly cook the veggies to keep all their nutrients intact, especially if you enjoy zucchini still a little crunchy rather than soggy.
Freshly grated parmesan cheese tastes better than pre-shredded. But if that's what you have, don't sweat it. It's all good.
