Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 8 ounce mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Start by heating your olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, add your thinly sliced onions. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they become softened and translucent.
3. Next, stir in the sliced mushrooms. Cook them until they are nicely browned and tender, which should take around 3-5 minutes.
4. Add the sliced zucchini and let it cook for approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook this mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. As a final touch, sprinkle the sautéed veggies with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
To ensure that your vegetables remain perfectly sautéed, avoid overcrowding the skillet which can trap steam and lead to sogginess, and always use medium-high heat.
