Servings
Ingredients
1.5 lb medium zucchini (or baby yellow, green pattypan, or crookneck squash)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
0.5 tsp ground thyme (if desired)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper


Directions
1 Wash and dry squash. Slice off ends and cut lengthwise down the middle.
2 Lay a steam rack over 1 inch of boiling water in a 5 to 6 quart pan. Place squash halves on rack and place lid over. Steam on high heat for 8 minutes, squash should be tender, but not mushy.
3 Melt butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Place squash in pan and sprinkle thyme over (if using). Gently mix, so butter covers squash evenly. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until butter is slightly browned. Sprinkle salt and pepper over to taste.
Additional Information
When serving, either spoon out middles, or chop into slices. If spooning out middles, it can be used as a garnish on another dish or if chopping, use it as a side dish. Try using a combination of different color squashes .This is a simple recipe good for the fall or as a no hassle side dish for Thanksgiving.
