PARMESAN LEMON ZUCCHINI RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Parmesan Lemon Zucchini Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by junerodgers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 zucchinis, thinly sliced to 1/2-inch thick rounds
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Working in batches, add zucchini, thyme and lemon zest. Cook, flipping once, until golden, about 1-2 minutes on each side; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmesan and lemon juice.

Tips:

  • Choose tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that are small and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large or have blemishes, as they may be tough or bitter.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the zucchini into even slices, which will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the zucchini, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the zucchini from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender-crisp: Zucchini should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. This will take about 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the slices.
  • Season the zucchini to taste: Once the zucchini is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried oregano.

Conclusion:

Parmesan Lemon Zucchini is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh zucchini, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and a few simple seasonings. The zucchini is sautéed until it is tender-crisp, and then tossed with the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and seasonings. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it is also a good source of vitamin C and potassium. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy side dish or a healthy and flavorful addition to your next meal, Parmesan Lemon Zucchini is a great option.
