Easy Steamed Zucchini

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. First things first, let’s wash and slice up our zucchinis. If you’ve got a knife, a cutting board, and a little bit of zest, you’re halfway there!
  2. In a large pot, bring a few inches of water to a gentle boil. You’re going to create a steamy sauna for those zucchinis, and they’ll love you for it!
  3. Once the water is bubbling away, place the sliced zucchinis in a steamer basket and set it over the boiling water. Cover it with a lid and let them steam for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remember, we want tender, not mushy!
  4. While the zucchinis are soaking up that steam, grab a small bowl and mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This fragrant mixture is going to work its magic on your soon-to-be scrumptious veggies!
  5. After the zucchinis are wisely steamed, carefully take them out, and toss them in the olive oil mix. Be gentle—it’s their spa day!
  6. Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for that fancy touch, and voilà! Your fabulous Easy Steamed Zucchini is ready to be the star of your dinner table!
