- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
Other Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Rinse and slice the zucchinis into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Sauté zucchini and corn: Add the sliced zucchini and corn kernels to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the zucchini is tender and the corn is slightly caramelized.

Notes

- For added depth, consider adding a minced garlic clove when sautéing.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
