Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound zucchini sliced into ¼-inch thick coins
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoon avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced 1 pound zucchini in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches), and saute for 3-4 minutes. Flip the zucchini, and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the pan and set aside.
- Add 4 cloves garlic to the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the zucchini back to the skillet and stir.
- Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and serve!
Notes
- If you do have to cook your zucchini in batches, check your skillet before starting the second batch. Is there enough oil left to cover the bottom of the skillet? If not, add a little more oil!
- Store leftovers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
