To begin making Zucchini Stir Fry I sliced up three small zucchini into thin slices.

Then I sliced up one large yellow onion and a red bell pepper.  I used mushrooms that were already sliced.

Once the vegetables were ready I poured some olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat and added in some dried basil.  I also dropped in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Once the oil was heated I dumped in all the vegetables except the sliced zucchini.

I cooked the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they were starting to soften. About 5 minutes.

Then I added in the sliced zucchini.

After quickly stirring in the sliced zucchini I put the lid on the skillet and reduced the heat slightly.

I continued cooking and occasionally stirring the vegetables until the zucchini had a slightly glazed look.  About 8 – 10 minutes.

Zucchini Stir Fry is a wonderful combination of flavours and colours that will be a great addition to your side dish repertoire.

Quick and easy enough to serve up any night of the week!
