Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 medium zucchini diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 bunch of torn kale leaves with hard stems removed
  • 1 15- oz can cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian herb mix
  • crushed red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  • First, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add in the garlic, and cook quickly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and barely golden (be careful as garlic burns easily). Toss in the diced zucchini, and mix to combine.
  • Cook the zucchini, stirring occasionally, until they start to form a golden brown crust and start to soften (5-7 minutes).
  • Next, mix in the kale leaves and cook until they wilt down. Finally, add in the cannellini beans and cherry tomatoes, cooking until they are just warmed through.
  • Mix in the garlic salt, Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes, and add more to taste.
  • Serve immediately!
