Courgettes cooked in oil is a simple and flavorful dish commonly found in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made by sautéing sliced courgettes (zucchini) in olive oil, this preparation highlights the vegetable's tender texture and naturally mild, slightly sweet flavor. Olive oil, a heart-healthy fat rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, provides essential nutrients and antioxidants. Courgettes are low in calories and packed with vitamins, particularly vitamin C and potassium, making the dish a nutritious option. However, depending on the amount of oil used, the calorie content can increase, so moderation is key for those monitoring dietary fat intake. This versatile dish complements grains, proteins, or can stand alone as a light, vegetarian side. Its origins reflect the agricultural richness of regions where fresh produce and wholesome oils are a dietary cornerstone.
