Sautéed Zucchini with Shallots and Parsley

1. Prep Zucchini

Thoroughly rinse the zucchini and pat them dry. Trim off the ends. Slice into uniform 1/8-inch rounds to ensure even cooking.

2. Sauté Zucchini

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Add the zucchini slices and sauté, shaking the pan and gently tossing the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the zucchini begins to soften.

3. Brown Crumbs

Sprinkle the fresh bread crumbs over the zucchini and dot with butter. Cook until the crumbs start to turn golden brown, which should take about a minute.

4. Add Aromatics

Stir in the chopped shallots and continue to cook, tossing for an additional minute until shallots are just softened.

5. Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
