2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the squash rounds dry with paper towels, then season with the salt and pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the squash in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the undersides are golden at the edges.
