Zucchini Pepper Stir Fry Recipes

EASY ZUCCHINI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat oil and garlic in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until almost translucent, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook until zucchini is slightly crisp, but not mushy, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes more. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

ZUCCHINI PEPPER STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Wash all vegetables thoroughly and peel carrots and onion. Slice zucchini and carrots in 1/4-inch slices (*see note regarding carrots); set aside. Remove stems, seeds and membranes from peppers; cut into 1/2-inch strips, then cut strips in half lengthwise. Slice onion, then quarter slices. Heat olive oil in extra-large saute pan or wok; add garlic and prepared vegetables. Sprinkle on Italian seasoning and salt. Cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp. Do not overcook! Squeeze on fresh lemon and add fresh ground pepper to taste. Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan or other favorite Italian cheese.

STIR-FRIED ZUCCHINI, CORN AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Trim the ends from the zucchini. Using a food processor, a mandolin or a sharp knife, cut the zucchini in thin, uniform rounds.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or a wok. Add the garlic, then immediately toss in the corn kernels, jalapeno pepper and red pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and stir-fry just until the zucchini begins to wilt, about two minutes.
• Fold in the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot. The dish can also be set aside to cool to room temperature before serving, but if so, the ingredients will benefit from the addition of another tablespoon of olive oil drizzled over them.
