About This Recipe

Quick and easy Parmesan Zucchini is the perfect summer side dish! Made in under 10 minutes with garlic and freshly grated Parmesan, this skillet zucchini is tender-crisp, and so delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves (sliced very thin)
  • 2 medium zucchini (14 oz total sliced in 1/4 inch thick half moons)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, when hot and add 1 ½ tablespoons oil and the garlic and cook until golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Increase the heat to high, add the zucchini, season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper, to taste and cook until it begins to brown on the bottom, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir to flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until it’s slightly browns and becomes tender-crisp (you don’t want this to cook too long or it will get mushy and watery).
  3. Quickly transfer it to a serving dish or platter and top with cheese and black pepper. The heat from the zucchini will melt the cheese slightly, creating a delicious coating.
