I love vegetables and zucchini is one of my favorites. The sauteed zucchini with parmesan is how I love to prepare it. It is just a delicious side dish that goes with almost any main dish. Although I must say that I love having this with fried pork chops or fried chicken. Yum! Nonetheless, though, it would also enhance any other main entree including beef or fish.
I love that it’s healthy and yet so delicious and very easy to prepare. It is ready in minutes which is a big plus for the busy lady of the house.
My husband loves this side dish, too. And he has another way of preparing it. He coats it with corn meal and fries it. He says it a southern thing, which he explains is truly a mountain thing seeing that we live in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
It can be done using yellow squash or okra, as well, just the way his late Mama used to do it which is the main reason Hubby loves this culinary style, strictly a nostalgia trip. He’s prepared it that way before and it’s really delicious. I will have to share the recipe for that next time here on the blog.
Here’s how I do it.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. garlic, minced
- 1 large zucchini, cut into rounds
- 1/4 cup parmesan, grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook until golden brown.
- Add zucchini and cook for 10 minutes or until tender.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with parmesan.
- Enjoy!
Look at that zucchini! Doesn’t it just look so good? Trust me, it is absolutely delicious!

Zucchini is my absolute favorite vegetable, I have never tried them with Parmesan, but they do sounds and look delicious. Will definitely be trying these.
I love this veggie too, my family always ask me to serve them this.
I love how simple this zucchini dish is but I bet its flavors are wonderful because of the parmesan.
Wow, looks a yummy veggie and I would love to try this at home
These look so good. I’m going to have to pick up some zucchini to give it a try. I think it’s going to be delicious.
This looks really great. I am definitely trying it out very soon
I like this idea of this, and haven’t tried it. I’m always just cooking it in butter, black pepper, and a little salt.
Sauteed Zucchini are such a delicious side dish idea! Now I know what I will make for dinner tonight!
Oh wow first time i saw how it looks i kind of think of a side dish. I love side dishes i could eat them for life. I love me some cheese I’ll try this later!
I love zucchini too and we eat quite a bit of it at home. I’ve actually never thought of baking them with parmesan cheese. Great idea, especially since I have all the ingredients at home.
