Zucchini and Mushroom Sauté

Zucchini and mushroom sauté

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
Total Time: 18-20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the zucchini and continue cooking for 4-6 minutes.
  4. Stir often until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper and serve warm.

Cooking Method Tip

Keep the vegetables in a single layer when possible. An overcrowded skillet traps steam and makes browning more difficult.

Try These Variations

  • Add sliced bell peppers or onions.
  • Season with garlic, basil, thyme, or oregano.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Serve over rice, pasta, or another whole grain.
