Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add enough oil to coat the pan well.

Step 2

Heat the oil until hot but not smoking, then add the almonds to the pan.

Step 3

Cook them, stirring, until the almonds are golden-brown, approximately a minute or two.

Step 4

Add the zucchini to the pan, tossing it with the oil and almonds until it just begins to glisten, about one minute.

Step 5

Season well with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Slide onto a plate, top with cheese (if using) and immediately dig in.

Chef’s notes

Inspired by the version at The Red Cat.

It cannot be made in advance.

It benefits from a good salt and pepper seasoning.

You can throw some thin slices of parmesan on or skip it.
