Instructions
- Slice zucchinis and squash into ¼-inch thick slices. Then cut each round in quarters.
- Cut the onion in half and then cut along the grain into thin slices.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and minced garlic. Add zucchini, squash pieces and corn, along with onion. Cook, stirring occasionally.
- Cook to the desired consistency (we like ours a little more cooked and soft and cooked for about 15 - 18 minutes). NOTE: Liquid will evaporate the longer you cook it.
- Remove from heat and top with shredded cheese or grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste and serve warm.
