Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup button mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice each zucchini into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.

Step 3

Clean and slice the mushrooms. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften and release their juices.

Step 8

Add the cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.

Step 9

Pour in the vegetable broth to deglaze the skillet and prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm as a stand-alone dish or alongside a serving of brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain bread.
