Baby Zucchini Sauté with Mint

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove, minced
• 3 pounds baby zucchini, trimmed and halved lengthwise
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds.
