Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Zucchini & Squash
  1. Begin by washing the zucchinis and yellow squashes thoroughly under cool running water. Slice them into ¼-inch thick half-moons.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic to the hot oil, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Carefully add the sliced zucchini and yellow squash to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes until tender yet still crisp.
  4. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the vegetables. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Transfer the medley to a serving dish and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh finish.
