  3. Crack the egg whites into a bowl (or pour from a carton) and add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until slightly frothy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add cooking spray or olive oil, allowing it to heat for about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden.

  7. Continue this gentle pushing motion for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are soft and fluffy but still slightly wet.
