I needed a side dish for macaroni and cheese tonight, so I made this. It's simple, but fresh and delicious, and it practically melts in your mouth. It's a snap to prepare, as well, and I was able to make it while my macaroni and cheese was in the oven.
First you cut up your zucchini into 1/4 inch rounds, and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat some olive oil in a large skillet, and then place the zucchini into the pan in a single layer.
Cook for five minutes on each side, or until nicely browned on each side. Remove from the pan.
Sprinkle with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese, and serve!
Yummy! Make sure to cook in one layer, because otherwise they won't brown properly. I cooked mine in two batches.
Here's the recipe:
Pan Fried Zucchini with Lemon and Parmesan
Ingredients:
4 small zucchini or 2 large zucchini (cut in 1/4 inch rounds)
Salt and pepper
3-4 T olive oil
Juice from 1/2 lemon
2 T Parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions:
- Generously sprinkle both sides of the zucchini slices with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium choice. When the skillet is hot, add half the olive oil.
- Place half of the zucchini in the pan, making sure the slices do not overlap. Cook for 5 minutes or until the bottoms of the slices are nicely browned. Flip the slices over and cook for until the other side is browned. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining zucchini.
- Transfer the cooked zucchini slices to a plate. Sprinkle with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.
- Eat.
