Ingredients
  

3 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Rinse and dry the zucchinis. Cut off the ends, then slice them into half-moons about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

      Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.

        Cook the Zucchini: Add the sliced zucchinis to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchinis are tender but still slightly crisp.

          Add Lemon Juice: Once the zucchini is cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the top. Stir well to combine.

            Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
