Tips:

  • Choose the right pattypan squash: Look for pattypan squash that is small and firm, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that is too large or has blemishes, as it may be tough and bitter.
  • Prepare the pattypan squash properly: Wash the pattypan squash thoroughly and trim off the stem and blossom ends. Cut the squash into 1/2-inch thick slices or wedges.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy and flavorful oil that is perfect for sautéing pattypan squash. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a lower acidity and a more delicate flavor.
  • Season the pattypan squash well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for pattypan squash. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Cook the pattypan squash over medium heat: Medium heat is ideal for sautéing pattypan squash. This will help the squash to cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing pattypan squash, it is important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the squash from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Stir the pattypan squash frequently: Stir the pattypan squash frequently while it is cooking. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and prevents it from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the pattypan squash until it is tender: Pattypan squash is done cooking when it is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the pattypan squash immediately: Pattypan squash is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
