Sautéed zucchini with onions is a very easy to make side dish that I’ve been eating since I can remember.

Mom always made sure we got our veggies, and I always enjoyed this one, with steak when I was lucky.

The onions become nicely browned and enhance the taste of the zucchini. Did you know that zucchini is known as courgettes across the pond? I knew that one since my mom always referred to them as “courgettes” when I was growing up.

Somehow I missed the memo on coriander, though. Coriander = cilantro and I did not know that until a couple of months ago. Sometimes I scare myself when I find out the things I don’t know that I should know…

Zucchini is a summer squash but you can often find it year-round. I would definitely eat this recipe any day!

I hope you will give this sautéed zucchini with onions recipe a try!

Ingredients 

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Chop onion and slice zucchini into 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices.
