Instructions
  1. Prep the vegetables:
  2. Wash zucchini and squash. Slice each lengthwise in half, then cut into half-moon slices about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat the pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sauté the vegetables: Add zucchini and squash in a single layer if possible. Season with black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes, until the squash is golden-brown on the edges but still slightly tender-crisp.
  5. Finish & Serve: Taste and add salt as needed. Serve hot as a side dish.
