📝 Ingredients

• 1 lb zucchini ((about 2 to 3 medium-size zucchini))
• 2 tbsp olive oil or butter, or a combination
• 2 cloves garlic (, chopped)
• 1 small shallot (, chopped)
• 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
• kosher salt and pepper to taste
• optional: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme or parsley

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the zucchini into bite-sized pieces. You can make rounds, quarters, halves or sticks - whatever shape you prefer.
2. 2Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it shimmer.
3. 3Add the zucchini pieces to the hot skillet. Do not stir for 2 minutes to let the zucchini start browning.

5. 5Remove the skillet from heat. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on the parmesan cheese over the zucchini and add chopped fresh herbs if desired.
6. 6Serve and enjoy!
