Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, and 1 tbsp za'atar until smooth and pourable — the sauce should be about the consistency of heavy cream. Set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the zucchini in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until the pieces are golden at the edges and just tender, about 2 minutes more.
