Sautéed Zucchini and Mushrooms

Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini, sliced
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm for about 30 seconds.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
3. Once the mushrooms are browned, add the minced garlic. Sauté for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
4. Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet, along with the salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is tender but still has a slight crunch.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
