A simple and flavorful sautéed side dish featuring tender zucchini, earthy mushrooms, and sweet onions, seasoned with garlic, thyme, and fresh parsley. Perfect for a quick, healthy addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons (about 1 pound)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash the zucchinis and mushrooms thoroughly. Slice the zucchinis into half-moons, slice the mushrooms, thinly slice the onion, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
  3. Sauté the onions: Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and become translucent.
  4. Add garlic and mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  5. Add zucchini and season: Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme if using. Sauté for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly firm.
  6. Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use firm zucchinis to prevent sogginess during cooking.
  • Button or cremini mushrooms work best, but you can substitute with baby bella or other varieties if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar before serving.
  • This dish can be served as a side or tossed with pasta for a light meal.
  • To keep the dish vegan and vegetarian friendly, ensure your seasonings do not include animal products.
