Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then cut off the ends and slice them into thin rounds.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley.
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Onions:
- Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Add the Zucchini:
