This simple side dish of sauteed zucchini, onions and yellow summer squash has graced our table repeatedly this past summer. The addition of a tiny bit of butter and fresh (or dried) thyme gives it an added depth of flavor that keeps this healthy dish both exciting and desirable. 🙂 Something every family can love, right?

I hope you get a chance to try it!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium yellow summer squash
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (or dried, if that's what you have)
  • 1 Tb butter
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice your zucchini and yellow squash into rings. Slice the onion into thin strips.
  2. Heat a large, deep skillet up over medium high heat.
  3. Spray the pan generously with cooking spray and add your veggies. Cook until they get a nice dark sear on one side. This sear will really add to the flavor.
  4. Stir with a spatula, and add 1-2 tsp water.
  5. Cover the pan and cook until crisp tender.
  6. Remove from the heat, add the thyme and butter, tossing to combine. Add a bit of salt and pepper, give it a taste and add more to your liking.

Serve and enjoy!
