For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. If patty pan squash is unavailable, substitute with zucchini or yellow squash. Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to your preference. Serve as a side dish alongside grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables.

Dec 9, 2023I didn't have lemon pepper on hand, so I used a bit of lemon zest and black pepper instead. Worked perfectly!
