Sauteed Zucchini, Peppers and Tomatoes

I love zucchini, and I love peppers, and I love tomatoes. 

I rarely put all three together in a sauté pan.  In fact, I rarely sauté any veggies.  I am a fresh veggie kind of gal.  However, after following this simple recipe and the absolute deliciousness it was, I will be doing it more often.  I did add 1/2 onion for additional flavor.  Seriously, this vegetable sauté was awesome and I could not get enough of it.  I will be making this OFTEN, at least once a week. 

Who knew sautéed vegetables tasted so good?

Sautéed Zucchini, Peppers, and Tomatoes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium)
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, ribs and seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions

  1. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.  Cut the peppers into 3/4-inch squares.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.  Cook, tossing frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

I have to ask you, are you getting your five servings of fruits and veggies in per day?  If not, this is an awesome recipe to chow down on.  It’s awesome even if you are eating fruits and veggies all day long!

    I love to go to the farmer's market and get zuccinni and yellow squash. Slice it and brush it with olive oil, salt and pepper and then BBQ it on the grill. My kids love it too.

    I made this for dinner tonight and even my HUSBAND who thinks the only vegetable out there is lettuce (iceberg of course) soaking in ranch dressing ATE IT!!! the kids ate it up :)

    THANK YOU THANK YOU… this will certainly be on our menu for years to come. Although I have to say that I used green pepper instead of the yellow, added carrots and also added onions :) YUMMY!!!

    Grilled zucchini is one of my favorite things in the world. In fact, I just love zucchini. I do it the same way as you when it's just the Z!
