Step 1
Wash the 2 medium zucchini and slice them into 1/4 inch rounds. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the zucchini slices in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid crowding. Season with the 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 4
Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and release easily from the pan.
Step 5
Flip the slices and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the zucchini is tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
