A quick and flavorful Garlic Butter Vegetable Stir Fry featuring zucchini, mushrooms, and onions sautéed in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect as a healthy and delicious side or light meal.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 Whole Zucchini Squash
  • 1/2 Whole Onion (yellow or brown)
  • 1/2 Cup Common Mushrooms (sliced, about 4-5 mushrooms)
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, grated

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Cooking Oil (neutral, no flavor or taste)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all the listed ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the onions, mushrooms, and zucchini squash into even pieces to ensure even cooking.
  3. Make Garlic Butter: Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds until just melted. Mix in the grated garlic thoroughly and set aside. You can prepare extra garlic butter and store it in the fridge for future use.
  4. Preheat Oil: Heat the neutral cooking oil in a frying pan over high heat until it reaches the right temperature and just begins to shimmer.
  5. Sauté Onions: Add the sliced onions to the hot oil and cook for 10-15 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  6. Cook Zucchini: Add the sliced zucchini squash and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still retaining some crispness.
  7. Add Mushrooms and Season: Stir in the sliced mushrooms, then sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the zucchini reaches your preferred tenderness.
  8. Combine Garlic Butter: Pour the prepared garlic butter over the vegetables and mix well, allowing the flavors to meld and the butter to coat all the veggies evenly.
  9. Serve: Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a serving dish, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for a nutty crunch, and enjoy hot.

Notes

  • You can store extra garlic butter in the refrigerator for several days to use with other dishes.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly if you prefer your vegetables more crisp or more tender.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas to customize the stir fry.
  • Use neutral oil like canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil for the best flavor balance.
  • To make this dish vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based butter alternative.
