📝 Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter for a richer flavor)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or grated Parmesan for extra flavor
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon
👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Zucchini
Wash and slice the zucchini into uniform rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture—this helps them crisp up better.
2. Heat the Skillet
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Rounds
Place the zucchini slices in a single layer in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and lightly crisp. Avoid overcrowding—cook in batches if needed.
4. Season
While still hot, season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices like garlic powder or Italian herbs. For a finishing touch, sprinkle with Parmesan or a fresh herb like parsley.
5. Serve Immediately
Enjoy warm as a side dish, snack, or even layered on sandwiches or wraps.
