Garlic-Parmesan Zucchini Squash & Tomatoes is one of those side dishes that I love to make when the tomatoes and zucchinis I grow in my vegetable patch ripen. It’s full of Mediterranean flavors thanks to garlic and Parmesan.
It is super simple to make too. Start by sautéing zucchini and squash before adding tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to sauté until the squash is tender and tomatoes are starting to burst. Stir half the Parmesan into the sautéd vegetables before scattering the remaining Parmesan over the top of the dish. Serve warm.
