Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
2 cups summer squash, washed and sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional seasonings such as garlic powder, cumin, thyme, basil, or oregano
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
Add the chopped onion to the hot oil and stir frequently, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and lightly golden at the edges.
Stir in the sliced carrots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften but still have a slight crunch.
Add the sliced summer squash to the skillet and toss everything together, cooking for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender but still holds its shape.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a nutritious side dish.
