Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 large yellow squash, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add zucchini; sauté 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Place zucchini in a bowl. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add yellow squash; sauté 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add yellow squash and remaining ingredients to zucchini, and toss to combine.
