Ingredients

• 4 medium Zucchini
• 14.5 oz Fire-roasted tomatoes (canned)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into half-moons, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the yellow onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced zucchini and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.

Step 7

Drain the liquid from the can of fire-roasted tomatoes (if preferred for a less liquidy dish) and add the tomatoes to the skillet.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 9

Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the zucchini to become tender but not mushy.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish, over rice, or with crusty bread for a complete meal.
