A quick and flavorful side dish featuring zucchini sautéed with garlic and herbs, perfect for any meal.
Slice the zucchini into even rounds.
Uniform slices ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Allow the oil to heat up fully before adding the zucchini for better sautéing.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow the zucchini to cook evenly.
Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes.
Adding garlic later prevents it from burning and turning bitter.
Sprinkle the mixed herbs, salt, and pepper over the zucchini and stir to combine.
Seasoning towards the end helps retain the herbs' aroma and flavor.
Serve the sautéed zucchini hot as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
