Very simple and very good! I have made this many times in the past when I have lots of zucchini overflowing in my garden. Even better if you can use fresh cut corn from the cob. This is a simple recipe that has lots of wonderful flavor! you will love this! Use less jalapeno but please use some, it really brings out a "kick" in this recipe. My family loves spicy, so I use the two jalapenos!

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini and peppers: Select firm, unblemished zucchini and peppers with vibrant colors. Smaller zucchini and peppers tend to be more tender and flavorful.
  • Slice the vegetables uniformly: Cut the zucchini and peppers into evenly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can result in steamed vegetables rather than sautéed.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the vegetables from sticking and will contribute to a more flavorful dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Sauté the vegetables until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Add seasonings and herbs to taste: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed zucchini and peppers are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sautéed zucchini and peppers is a quick, easy, and flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a healthy and balanced meal. With its vibrant colors and delicious taste, this dish is a great way to add more vegetables to your diet. Whether you serve it as a side dish to grilled chicken or fish, or as a main course with a side of quinoa or rice, sautéed zucchini and peppers is sure to be a hit.
