Sauteed Yellow Squash

Today let’s talk about yellow squash, with its peak season in spring to summer. What is the the best way to cook yellow squash? Yellow squash is delicious with a natural tint of sweetness, so a simple saute with garlic and butter is all you need. I love squash, be it zucchini or yellow squash. During this time of year, they are starting to pop up in the market. There is no better time to make this simple and easy sauteed yellow squash as they are healthy, plus the beautiful yellow color adds vibrancy to your daily meal. This recipe is an easy side dish you can make for weeknight dinner. They go well with just about anything: pasta, chicken, steak, or seafood. The prep is completely hassle free and quick. Basically, you just cut them into rounds and then slice into halves. Sauteing is a breeze as you need only garlic, butter and olive oil. The seasonings are salt, black pepper and fresh lemon juice. Yellow squash cooks fast so timing is very important. Do not overcook as they will turn too soft, mushy and watery. A perfectly sauteed yellow squash should retain crispness and a bite, so a quick minute or two in the saute pan is the expected cooking time. Enjoy!
