Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced
  • 2 medium yellow squash sliced
  • 1 small sweet onion sliced
  • 3 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning or dry ranch seasoning I have a recipe for this on my blog
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • In a 10 or 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure that the olive oil is coating the entire pan so the zucchini and squash don’t stick. 
  • Use a sharp knife to chop off the ends of the zucchini and squash. Chop them into 1/4 inch slices
  •  Transfer the sliced onions into the hot skillet along with the chopped squash and zucchini to the hot skillet. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over all the veggies. 
  • Sauté for about 10-15 minutes, making sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn. Stir occasionally. 
  • Remove the skillet from the heat once the squash is fork tender.

Notes

  • Seasoning for Vegetables: If you prefer a more subtle flavor, cut the ranch seasoning in half.
  • Grilling: If you're grilling, and prefer to grill long strips of zucchini right on the grill, try drizzling the zucchini with olive oil, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning on top, flip when ready and repeat on the other side. Delish!
  • Cutting: I prefer my veggies to be cut in thin circles and strips. You can cut your veggies however you prefer!
