Ingredients You'll Need:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
  • 2 medium summer squash, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Violife parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish 

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:

    • Wash and dry the zucchini and summer squash.
    • Slice them into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables:

    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
    • Add the sliced zucchinis and summer squash to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper 
    • Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, gently flipping, until they are tender and slightly browned. Cook in batches to not overcrowd the pan.

  3. Add the Vegan Parmesan Cheese:

    • Sprinkle the vegan parmesan cheese over the sautéed vegetables.
    • Stir gently to combine, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and coat the vegetables evenly.

  4. Serve:

    • Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
    • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Try adding other herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary, or red pepper flakes for an extra kick of flavor. A squeeze of fresh lemon on top is great as well. This dish pairs well with pasta, over rice or quinoa, or mixed with leafy greens, cherry tomatoes and a light vinaigrette for a refreshing salad. 

Enjoy! 🌱
