Steps

1

wash the zucchini very well. cut off both ends. slice thin to cook faster or thick to cook a bit longer. I also figured out to thin will get mushy very fast and fall apart. so I would recommend about 1/4 slices
2

put butter into a frying pan. let the butter melt but not bubble to much. medium/low heat then go to medium high while cooking
3

once the butter is at a nice melt and bubbling just a bit , add one slice of zucchini into the pan. don't overlap them. you will cook each side for about 2 to 5 minutes depending on thickness and how firm or mushy you want these.
4

after you have the slices in the pan add in salt, peppercorn, garlic powder , and vegetable seasoning if using it. you can also spice this up with cayenne or any other spice.
5

add in some onion.
6

if you need to add more butter at any time do so.
7

while cooking just pull the pot up and slide it around a bit and put it back down. don't stir.
8

turn over each piece. re season if you like. cook until tender unless you like it more firm.
9

turn off heat and move the pan to a cool burner
10

remove onions before taking them out or just leave onions in the pan and take one slice out at once without getting onion
11

take either paper towels and put them on a glass plate to absorb any extra butter/grease. you can also just use paper plates.
12

I did only one zucchini. if your doing more then one. each batch should be started from scratch. meaning : fresh butter and spices. rinse the pan also so nothing gets burned to the bottom
13

serve as a snack or with dinner. plain or with ranch dressing
14

enjoy

I was a stay home mother for years, and loved it. I'm always interested in trying new things and try to get my kids to try things at least once. I don't measure a lot of things. I go by taste and need to work on that .... I use a lot of different recipes, enjoy looking at ones online and trying them . I tend to change things to so you never know. I haven't been able to cook much for a bit , but I'm hoping to change that soon.
