- 2In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and garlic with a pinch of salt until the onions turn translucent, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside three-quarters of the cooked onions in a separate bowl. Into the skillet, add zucchini along with the remaining quarter of onions; season with salt and freshly ground pepper to your liking.
