Servings: 1 side
Cost: $3
Equipment
- 1 skillet pan
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the yellow squash and zucchini. Use a knife to cut both into ¼ inch circles. You can cut them again into half circles if you want smaller pieces.
- Mince the garlic.
- Heat a sauté pan on medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted add the zucchini, yellow squash, and garlic to the pan.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the squash and garlic. Use a cooking utensil to gently mix it around in the pan so the butter coats the vegetables.
- Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is cooked and tender. Keep an eye on it because squash will soften very quickly and remove it when it has reached your desired softness.
Notes
Tips:
- Keep your eye on the squash. If it becomes overcooked it will begin to fall apart in the pan.
- To brown the squash cook it on medium-high heat.
- If you find that is starting to fall apart try slicing it thicker.
- Storage: Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
- Reheating: Reheat the squash in the microwave.
