Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 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

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Rinse and slice the zucchinis into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob.
  2. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. 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.
  4. Season the vegetables: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, stirring well to combine flavors.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini and corn. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
  6. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn in summer for best flavor, or frozen corn as a convenient alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of Parmesan to your preference for cheesiness.
  • For added depth, consider adding a minced garlic clove when sautéing.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
