Step 1
Start by melting some butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the sweet potatoes and stir them around so they get nicely coated with the butter. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and mix it all together until it’s combined. Turn up the heat to medium-high and keep stirring for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the brown sugar starts to caramelize and the sweet potatoes get a little golden. Then, lower the heat to medium-low and add the zucchini. Cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens—this usually takes around 5 to 10 minutes. If there’s any extra liquid in the pan, just drain it off before serving.

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep the vegetables tender without drying out. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture.
