Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 12 medium zucchini sliced
  • ½ lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Use a sharp knife to slice up your onions and cut the zucchini into wheels.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle the olive oil in and sauté the onion until translucent, about 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add in the zucchini wheels and sauté for 5 – 8 minutes until the zucchini is slightly browned and the onion is caramelized. Keep stirring the veg to make sure they don’t stick and everything gets cooked evenly.
  • Add in salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and fresh thyme leaves.

Notes

It's important to cut them all the same size. A mandoline slicer would help. Also, toss them to make sure they are all getting time on the bottom of the pan where the most heat is.
