    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium to medium high heat.
  2. Add zucchini, bell pepper and onion and a pinch of salt to the pan and sauté until slightly softened but not browned, 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add corn and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  5. Add scallions and a quarter of the lemon zest and juice - taste for seasoning -- add more zest and/or juice if desired.

Notes

  • You may or may not need the additional lemon juice and zest at the end, which is why I recommend tasting before adding the full amount.
