Aunt Rocky’s Garlic & Butter Zucchini Ribbons

Cut ends off zucchini and discard. Peel and discard peelings.

Using a vegetable peeler, slice zucchini into thin ribbons. Go all the way through the seed portion in the middle, using the entire zucchini. Blot with paper towels.

In a medium skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add zucchini ribbons and toss in butter, allowing to cook for only about 2 minutes. You don’t want to overcook them, or they will get too soggy.

Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and add cracked pepper to taste. Stir and serve.

Notes:
• For An Asian flair, substitute soy sauce for the Worcestershire.
