Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
- Add the zucchini slices to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
- Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the vegetables sauté rather than steam.
- For best texture, cook the mushrooms first until they brown before adding the zucchini.
