Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis, diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

Others

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and dice the zucchinis into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob; if frozen, thaw beforehand.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini and corn kernels, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly golden.
  3. Add Parmesan: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sautéed vegetables, allowing the cheese to melt slightly from the residual heat.
  4. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a flavorful side dish to any meal.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or freshly chopped herbs like basil or parsley while sautéing.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best cheesy taste and texture.
  • Adjust salt carefully since Parmesan cheese is naturally salty.
  • Can be served warm or at room temperature.
