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.
