Zucchini Pepper Stir Fry Recipes

EASY ZUCCHINI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat oil and garlic in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until almost translucent, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until zucchini is slightly crisp, but not mushy, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes more. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken, toss well and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Drain the chicken and pat dry. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and then the chicken and thyme. Cook, stirring until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Add the bell pepper to the pan and quickly cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the bell pepper to the bowl with the chicken. Add the zucchini to the pan and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the chicken. Add the tomatoes, garlic, scallions and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes more. Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan; season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until well combined and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Serve over rice.

ZUCCHINI PEPPER STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Wash all vegetables thoroughly and peel carrots and onion. Slice zucchini and carrots in 1/4-inch slices (*see note regarding carrots); set aside. Remove stems, seeds and membranes from peppers; cut into 1/2-inch strips, then cut strips in half lengthwise. Slice onion, then quarter slices. Heat olive oil in extra-large saute pan or wok; add garlic and prepared vegetables. Sprinkle on Italian seasoning and salt. Cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp. Do not overcook! Squeeze on fresh lemon and add fresh ground pepper to taste. Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan or other favorite Italian cheese.

ZUCCHINI, PEPPERS, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Wash, trim, and slice zucchini.
• Salt zucchini lightly and allow to drain for about ten minutes, then pat dry.
• Heat the butter and oil, sauté onions until wilted.
• Add the zucchini and peppers, cook 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes, herbs, and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• If the tomatoes are especially juicy, cook briefly over high heat to reduce pan juices.
• Remove from heat, stir in optional feta and olives or parmesan, if desired.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI, PEPPERS, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Remove ribs and seeds from peppers; cut into 3/4-inch squares.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

STIR-FRIED ZUCCHINI, CORN AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Trim the ends from the zucchini. Using a food processor, a mandolin or a sharp knife, cut the zucchini in thin, uniform rounds.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or a wok. Add the garlic, then immediately toss in the corn kernels, jalapeno pepper and red pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and stir-fry just until the zucchini begins to wilt, about two minutes.
• Fold in the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot. The dish can also be set aside to cool to room temperature before serving, but if so, the ingredients will benefit from the addition of another tablespoon of olive oil drizzled over them.

• Add the cumin and hot pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the zucchini and season with the salt.
• Cook stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still firm, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the corn and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle on the lime juice and serve hot or at room temperature.
