I love the colors red and green. They are vibrant and when you combine these color vegetables, you get a very healthy mix! This is a little side dish that I serve with grilled chicken or sliced steak. Last night we had petite tenderloins, slipper lobster tail and this on the side. It is very simple to make!
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large cloves of garlic, sliced into chips
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into very thin strips
2 medium zucchini, sliced into diagonal rounds
1/2 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped
4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat saute pan, add oil once the pan is heated. Allow the oil to heat and drop in the garlic. Stir the garlic slices over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, slightly browning. Once the browning starts, remove the garlic from the oil and set aside. Add the zucchini, the red bell pepper, and the jalapeno. Stir fry over medium high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes until the zucchini is slightly softened. When cooked, turn off the heat. Toss in the garlic chips and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with grated parmesan cheese.
