Instructions
- Slice your zucchinis lengthwise and scoop the seeds out with a spoon. (This will help keep your zucchini from getting mushy because seeds are almost all water.)
- Continue cutting your zucchinis into long, thin strips.
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-low heat.
- Add zucchini, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking and stirring for 10 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and continue cooking until zucchini is tender.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese on top and serve.
Notes
- It all starts with choosing fresh produce at the store. Look for zucchinis with a smooth, blemish-free surface and opt for firm yellow onions with a slightly glossy surface.
- Don't peel the skin. The skin adds color and contains nutrients. Just be sure to wash it well.
- Aim for consistently sized pieces of vegetables for even cooking.
- Use a large frying pan. This works best for even heat distribution because it provides adequate space for the zucchini and onions to cook without overcrowding.
- Don't overcook or you might end up mushy zucchini.
