A delightful and simple dish featuring yellow squash sautéed with aromatic seasonings.
Wash and slice the yellow squash into thin rounds.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
A sharp knife makes slicing easier and prevents tears.
Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat until melted.
Swirl the butter around to coat the pan evenly.
Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Garlic cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Add the yellow squash slices to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
Toss the squash gently to coat it evenly with the seasoning.
Cook the squash, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly firm.
Avoid overcooking to maintain a pleasant texture.
Serve the sautéed squash hot as a side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added flavor and presentation.
