Sautéed Yellow Squash
Serves 4
This sautéed yellow squash is one of my all-time favorite summer squash recipes! A crispy, nutty panko topping contrasts perfectly with the tender, herb-flecked squash.
Cook Time: 10 minutes mins
Ingredients
- 3 yellow squash
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Fresh basil & thyme for garnish, optional
Herb oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Bread Crumb Topping
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs (didn't use last time)
- ¼ cup Vegan Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon sea salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Slice the squash into ¼-inch rounds. If the squash is large, slice the rounds into half-moons.
- Make the herb oil: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper and shake to combine.
- Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the panko, Vegan Parmesan, parsley, salt, several grinds of pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the squash and sauté for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that all sides get cooked. I like to cook mine until it’s soft, yet still has a firm bite, but before it becomes too watery and mushy. Remove from the skillet and toss with the herb oil. Top with the panko mixture, and fresh herbs, if desired.

Marinade (Chicken Or Beef)
Beef (1.5 lbs)
Ingredients
-1/4 cup Worscestershire sauce
-1/4 cup Soy sauce
-1/4 cup Olive oil
-1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
-1 tbsp Minced garlic
-1 tbsp Brown Sugar
-2 tbsp Lemon Juice
-1 tsp dried Basil
-1 tsp dried Parsley
-1 tsp Pepper
Chicken (1 lbs)
Ingredients
-1/4 cup Honey
-1/3 cup Soy sauce
-1/4 cup Olive oil
-1 tsp Minced garlic
-Salt / Pepper to taste
Sautee Mushrooms w/ Garlic Butter
Ingredients
-2 lb mushrooms
-2 tbsp butter
-1 tbsp avocado oil or Olive oil
-3 cloves garlic or Minced garlic
-Chopped Parsley
-Salt / Pepper to taste
Optional Flavoring
-1 1/2 tbsp worchesterchire sauce or balsamic vinegar
-1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
-1 1/2 tbsp white wine
Instructions
1- Wash and prep the mushrooms. Cut any large mushrooms in half so they are all relatively the same size.
2- heat a pan over medium high heat and add only the mushrroms in a single layer. Stir occasionally and wait for the mushrooms to release their liquid, about 3-4 mins.
Either drain the liquid or let it continue to reduce until it's evaporated. This will give you a concentrated mushroom flavor that's full of umami. Removing the liquid is key to getting a golden sear.
3- once the liquid is drained or evaporated, add the oil, butter, garlice and any flavoring (worchestershire, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, or white wine). Continue to saute until the mushrooms turn a golden brown, about 3-4 mins.
4- Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.
