Season generously with cayenne pepper to taste, adjusting the amount to your preferred level of heat.
Sprinkle the apple cider vinegar over the zucchini mixture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the zucchini to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove the cover, taste, and adjust the vinegar if needed. Add another splash, cover, and simmer for 1 minute.
