Once cut, we must extend a piece of kitchen paper on a kitchen surface for the courgette to rest on. This will ensure the moisture is fully absorbed by the paper. Place the slices over it and season. Leave the zucchini for half an hour to release all the water. Then dry them thoroughly to remove all the liquid that has been released.

When finished we put a splash of olive oil in a pan and heat it. Now, add the pieces of zucchini and let them cook over medium heat, first one side and then on the other. Salt to taste and, if we want to enhance their flavor, add a pinch of rosemary.
