Cast Iron Sautéed Zucchini
Ingredients
- 2 –3 medium zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch rounds or half moons
- 1 –2 tablespoons butter or ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
- A pinch of red pepper flakes
- Fresh herbs like basil or thyme for garnish
- Grated parmesan for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add butter and let it melt.
- Add the sliced zucchini and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cover with a lid and cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and lightly browned. (Keeping the lid on helps it steam and soften while still browning underneath.)
- Remove the lid for the last couple minutes to allow any moisture to cook off.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish if desired.
