Sauteed Squash
servings
This one-pan Sauteed Squash is a quick and easy side dish that’s full of flavor! Simply slice up some squash, add an onion and some fresh herbs and seasonings, and you've got a tasty dinner addition.
Ingredients
- 3 medium yellow squash can substitute zucchini or use a combination of the two
- 2 medium onions sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 5-10 fresh basil leaves chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium high and add the butter and olive oil.
- Once butter has melted, add the squash, onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and mix. Cook for 7 minutes without stirring. *See note.
- Stir contents well and cook for an additional 5, stirring, if desired. Add ¾ of the chopped basil, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle squash with the remaining basil before serving.
Notes
- This is a personal preference, but I only stir the squash once the whole time it's cooking as we like the onions really caramelized to the point of almost burnt, and the squash a bit burnt as well. Please feel free to adjust to your liking!
