Simple Sautéed Squash is such an easy and delicious side dish! Low Carb, Gluten Free and only 3 simple ingredients that cook up quickly!
We love squash. We love it boiled, roasted, or made into zoodles. And we love it as Simple Sautéed Squash.
Sometimes we use the yellow squash and sometimes we use green zucchini. It doesn’t matter.
Leave the peel on, peel it completely or peel it to leave zebra stripes; whatever you like. The zebra stripes leaves on some of the nutritious peel without being too much. I usually do it that way.
If the squash is especially big, it is better to cut the seeds out. Otherwise, they are fine left in there.
Peel as you wish, cut off the ends, cut into quarters and then dice into bite sized pieces.
There is so much you can do with squash! And it is a good thing because if you have a garden, or your neighbor has a garden, or your parents have a garden. . . you get the idea. It is wonderfully prolific stuff!

The Seasoning
I love the simplicity of this recipe. I keep a mixture of equal parts of salt (affiliate link), pepper (affiliate link) and garlic powder (affiliate link) in a container so it is easy to grab and use. This recipe is already very easy but that makes it even easier!
If you want to make it vegan
Simply change out equal parts of butter for extra virgin olive oil (affiliate link) or coconut oil (affiliate link).
Ingredients:
(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)
squash; green zucchini or yellow squash
butter
garlic powder (affiliate link)
Salt (affiliate link) and pepper (affiliate link)
Directions:
Peel and dice squash. Leave some peel if desired. Remove seeds if desired.
Melt butter in skillet.
Add squash and seasonings.
Sautee until desired texture, probably 5-10 minutes; longer for softer squash and less time for firm or crunchy.
Stir frequently to coat evenly with butter and seasonings.
