A quick and easy recipe featuring tender zucchini and earthy mushrooms, perfectly seasoned and caramelized for a comforting and delicious dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized zucchinis, sliced into half-inch rounds
  • 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchini into half-inch rounds and the mushrooms into thin slices.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the zucchini slices in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes until golden-brown. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and start to brown.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  6. Return the zucchini to the skillet and toss everything together. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top if desired.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful skillet zucchini and mushrooms!
