1
Prepare the Zucchini
Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them into half-moons or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Cook the Zucchini
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still has a bit of crunch.
5
Add Parmesan and Basil
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Mix until the cheese is melted and well combined with the zucchini.
6
Serve
Transfer the sautéed zucchini to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
