Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, sliced into ¼-inch rounds

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning blend

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.

    Add Garlic and Zucchini: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced zucchini into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender yet retains a slight crunch.

      Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasoning: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices slightly.

        Layer the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the zucchini mixture, followed by an abundant layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly.

          Serve: Once the cheeses have melted, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish generously with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your Zucchini Parmesan Skillet hot, either as a savory side dish or a delightful main course.
