7 Minute Sauteed Zucchini With Garlic Basil Recipes

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet. Cook onion over medium heat until tender.
• Add garlic, zucchini, parsley, and basil. Cook until zucchini is tender-crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
• Add tomato, seasoned salt & pepper. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheeses and cover with a lid*, rest 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts.

SAUTéED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Add the garlic and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add the zucchini. Stir and then press down into the pan and let cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring until the zucchini begins to brown.

EASY SAUTEED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini lengthwise into quarters and then chop into 1/3 inch thick pieces. Make sure that the slices are the same size.
• Mince the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Make sure the garlic doesn't burn as it will get bitter.
• Add the zucchini to the pan and toss until all zucchini slices are covered with olive oil and the garlic is distributed equally. Don't cover as zucchini get soggy when cooked covered.
• Cook the zucchini for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally until they are cooked through but still have a bite to them. Make sure to not overcook as zucchini can get too soft very fast.
• Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately or keep in the fridge in a glass container with a tight lid. The sauteed zucchini taste great the next day but will start losing flavor if kept too long.

PAN-SEARED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, toss zucchini with kosher salt until the salt has coated most of the slices.
• Line a sheet pan with a clean dish towel or paper towels. Spread zucchini out on the paper towels and let rest for 20 minutes. (This will draw out moisture to give the zucchini a more concentrated flavor and better texture as it cooks.)
• Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl (you can use the same one you used to salt the zucchini, but wipe it out first), whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and garlic.
• After zucchini has been resting for 20 minutes, roll it up in the dish towel / paper towels and gently rub it to remove moisture that gathered on its surface.
• Heat a large skillet with cooking oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
• Add zucchini to the heated skillet in a single layer (do this in batches if needed; be careful not to crowd the pan or it won't brown). Let it sit in the hot pan, without turning, until golden brown on the bottom, 4 to 7 minutes. Gently flip the zucchini and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until tender, 6 to 7 minutes more.
• Add warm zucchini to the bowl with the olive oil dressing and toss gently to combine.
• Just before serving, fold in basil.

Add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.
