Can I use frozen zucchini?

Technically yes, but fresh is WAY better. Frozen zucchini releases too much water and turns mushy. If you must, thaw it completely and squeeze out excess liquid with a clean towel before cooking.

How do I prevent sogginess?

Two secrets: 1) Pat your veggies dry before cooking, and 2) Don’t overcrowd the skillet—work in batches if needed. A hot pan = caramelization, not steaming

Can I make this ahead?

It’s best fresh, but you can prep the veggies ahead. Store sliced zucchini and mushrooms separately in the fridge for up to 24 hours (with a paper towel to absorb moisture). Cook right before serving.

What mushrooms work best?

Cremini are my favorite for flavor, but white button or shiitake work great too. Portobellos can overpower the zucchini—save those for burgers
