Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons (about 1 pound)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • To taste salt
  • To taste black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the zucchinis and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into half-moons, slice the mushrooms, and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
  2. Heat the Oil: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it heat for about 1 minute until shimmering but not smoking.
  3. Sauté Onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until they soften and become translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  5. Cook Zucchini and Season: Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme if desired. Continue sautéing for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender but still has a slight firmness.
  6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the vegetables and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to vary the dish and add more color and nutrients.
  • This sautéed vegetable medley pairs beautifully with grilled meats, fish, or can be served as a nutritious topping over grains such as quinoa or rice.
  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days. Reheat gently before serving to maintain texture.
