Step-by-Step Instructions for Sautéed Zucchini
  1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped yellow onion and quartered white button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are golden brown.
  3. Remove the onions and mushrooms from the skillet and set aside. Drizzle in a little more olive oil if the skillet looks dry.
  4. Add the bite-sized zucchini pieces to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender and golden.
  5. Lower the heat, introduce minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, then serve immediately while warm.
