1
Prepare the Zucchini
Wash the zucchinis under running water. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.
3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add the Zucchini
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to coat with the garlic and oil.
6
Season the Zucchini
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried basil over the zucchini. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
7
Cook the Zucchini
Sauté the zucchini for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned.
8
Add Marinara Sauce (Optional)
If desired, pour the marinara sauce over the sautéed zucchini. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
9
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over pasta as a main dish.
