Ingredients:

2 medium zucchini, sliced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 

Instructions:

1. Heat skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil or butter.

2. Sauté aromatics (optional): If using onion, add it to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Cook mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

4. Add zucchini: Stir in the sliced zucchini. Cook for another 4–5 minutes, until zucchini is tender but still has a slight bite.

5. Season: Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and thyme or Italian seasoning. Stir well to coat.

6. Finish: Remove from heat. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley before serving.
