This recipe does not make very good leftovers.

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb zucchini
2 Tbsp fresh herbs of your choice
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper

Place the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add the zucchini. Let the zucchini cook without stirring for about 3 minutes. If it appears to be cooking too fast, reduce the heat to medium.

Toss the zucchini well and cook for about 7 - 10 more minutes. As the cubes begin to brown add the herbs, salt and pepper and continue to toss.

Do not over cook the zucchini. As soon as the outside is lightly browned and it is slightly soft serve.
