Ingredients

• 2 medium yellow squash
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the yellow squash and zucchini. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel and mince the garlic. Dice the yellow onion into small pieces.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Add the sliced squash and zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the veggies with the spices.

Step 7

Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash and zucchini are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 more minutes, just until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with additional Old Bay, salt, or pepper.

Step 10

Transfer the squash and tomatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
