👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat olive oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat.

When oil is hot, add garlic, squash, salt, pepper, sugar, and red pepper flakes.

Stir together and cook 2 to 3 minutes.

Add vinegar to the squash mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until the squash is slightly wilted, but still firm and crunchy.

Taste, and add more salt or sugar if needed.
