Pan Fried Zucchini
Easy veggie side dish with only three ingredients! This recipe begins on the stove and moves to the oven to finish cooking.
Equipment
- 1 cast iron skillet or non-stick pan
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- salt
Instructions
- Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, and cut slits across the flesh in a crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle the zucchini with salt, and allow to sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture. After 10 minutes, blot the moisture from the zucchini with a paper towel (no need to rinse).
- Preheat oven to 400℉. (While oven is preheating, begin to cook the zucchini).
- Over medium high heat, add one tablespoon of cooking oil to a cast iron skillet. When oil starts to ripple, place the zucchini flesh side down in the skillet, and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until brown.
- Flip the zucchini over, turn off the stove, and place the skillet in the oven for 10 minutes for the zucchini to finish cooking and become tender.
