Our Almond Parmesan takes sautéed zucchini to mouth-watering heights! The delicate basil ribbons sprinkled in add just the right touch.

Ingredients

Almond Parmesan 2 pounds zucchini, thinly sliced into rounds, about 6 cups
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
4 leaves fresh basil, thinly sliced
1 pinch sea salt
4 turns freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. First, make the Almond Parmesan according to the recipe below.

  2. Next, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, about 2 tablespoons of water, and the garlic. Cook the zucchini for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is just tender and the skin is bright green. Add a few splashes of water as needed to prevent sticking. Sprinkle your zucchini with a generous amount of Almond Parmesan and the basil and toss to coat. Remove from the heat.

  3. Scoop the zucchini onto a serving plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper, top with another sprinkle of Almond Parmesan and serve the remaining on the side.
