Pan seared summer squash with fresh basil

Ingredients

• 1 large summer squash
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 20 fresh basil chopped. ( because I made a huge squash and after chopped it required a lot.)
• 1 tsp onion salt

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in an 11- to 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until shimmering hot.
2. Arrange the squash in the skillet, cut side down and in a single layer.
3. Season with 1/4 tsp.
4. salt and a few grinds of pepper.
5. Sprinkle the fresh basil over the squash and sear the squash undisturbed until deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Using tongs, turn the squash onto the other cut side.
7. Sprinkle with another 1/4 tsp.
8. salt and cook until tender and nicely browned on the second side, about 2 minutes more.
9. Transfer the squash and crisp basil to plates or a serving bowl.
