Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ Cups Zucchini and Yellow Squash, sliced into 1/4 inch thick "coins" or half "coins."
  • 1 ½ Tbsp Olive Oil
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ⅛ tsp Onion Powder
  • ¼ tsp Chili Powder
  • Pinch Paprika
  • ⅛ tsp Parsley Flakes
  • ⅛ tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • ⅛ tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into ¼ inch thick “coins” and cut any larger pieces in half again with a goal of slices being similar in size.
  • Add all seasoning to a small bowl and mix together until well combined.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet on medium heat.
  • Add squash to the skillet, immediately stirring and spreading the "coins" out.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the squash.
  • Stir and shake the skillet, flipping the squash regularly.
  • Cook the squash until tender and can easily be pierced with a fork (about 4-5 Minutes). *** Avoid overcooking the squash. You want it to still have structure and not get to the point of mushy.
  • Serve and enjoy!
