• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Step 1

Wash and dry the zucchini and mushrooms. Cut the zucchini into thin rounds and slice the mushrooms into approximately quarter-inch thick pieces.

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the parsley for garnish.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced zucchini and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the olive oil.

Step 6

Sprinkle the dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 7

Cook the zucchini and mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the mushrooms have released their liquid and are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the vegetable medley.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal.
