Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
2 small zucchini (ends trimmed and diced)
2 small to medium yellow crookneck squash (ends trimmed and diced)
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional but yummy)

Steps:

  • In a 10- or 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until hot and rippling.
  • Add the zucchini and yellow squash in as even a layer as possible (it should sizzle as it hits the skillet) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it sit without stirring or moving for 2-3 minutes so it can get nice and golden. Give it a good stir, add a touch more salt and pepper to taste if needed, and let it continue to cook, stirring only every now and then, until the squash is browning here and there and tender to your liking, about 5-7 more minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste and top with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.

Provided by ChefChrissy

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small zucchini
1 small yellow squash
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini and squash into small chunks and put in a ziploc bag.
  • Add olive oil salt and pepper to bag and shake until coated.
  • Dump onto baking dish and spread out into a single layer.
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese over vegetables and bake on the top rack of the oven for 20 minutes at 450°F.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini and yellow squash: Select young, tender zucchini and yellow squash that are about the same size so they cook evenly. Look for vegetables with smooth, unblemished skin and no signs of bruising or decay.
  • Wash and prepare the vegetables: Rinse the zucchini and yellow squash under cold water and pat them dry. Trim the ends off the vegetables and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle: A large skillet or griddle will help you cook the vegetables in a single layer, ensuring that they brown evenly. If you don't have a large skillet or griddle, you can cook the vegetables in batches.
  • Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat: Heat the oil or butter in the skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. This will help the vegetables brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the vegetables and cook until tender: Add the zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet or griddle and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the vegetables: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavors.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the zucchini and yellow squash immediately as a side dish or main course. They can also be used in salads, sandwiches, or wraps.
