Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 medium yellow squash, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the sautéed vegetables gently in a skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water to prevent drying.
  • Serve this vibrant side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish for a light and flavorful meal.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan; sauté in batches if needed to ensure the vegetables brown nicely rather than steam.
