Sauteed Zucchini
Easy to prep sauteed zucchini that can be served as a side, or to be used in a Baked Zucchini Omelet.
Ingredients:
8 medium zucchini (about 3 pounds)
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, cut crosswise into 1/2" rounds
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Trim ends from zucchini, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 1/2″ slices; set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan on medium-low heat. Add onion, cook until it starts to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups zucchini. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper; saute, tossing occasionally, until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl while cooking remaining zucchini.
Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to pan; add remaining zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. (Cool completely, and refrigerate if using in Baked Zucchini Omelet).
