zucchini recipe

Sauteed zucchini is a quick, easy, and healthy side. We love simply sauteed zucchini with a bit of minced garlic, salt, and pepper. That said, we have shared quite a few variations in the article above.

Garlic Butter Sauteed Zucchini

zucchini (2 medium)

butter

garlic (3 cloves)

Salt and fresh ground black pepper

scallion, thinly sliced

lemon juice

I love this, it's so delicious. I've made this 3 times in 4 days! I added beyond sausages to mine. The second time Tuscan kale and broccoli. Delicious🤗. Thank you.

This is gorgeous, and so simple! I think I did end up overcooking the zucchini a bit, but it still tasted wonderful, and the lemon juice takes it to the next level. I didn't have any scallions so I used chives instead, and that seemed to do the trick. I will definitely make this often, thank you so much for sharing the recipe.

This is awesome and sweet. I enjoyed it very much.

Wow. Really good! I overcooked the zucchini (quick which gave it just a hint of blackened flavor) in a cast iron skillet and added a little Italian seasoning, parmesan and lemon juice Delicious

This is just the zucchini recipe I have been looking for. I made it tonight for dinner, and it was delicious! All your recipes are winners. Thank you.

Recipe video above. {Low Cal, GF, low carb} My secret method to make a really low calorie creamy soup that is seriously delicious! Using boiled PEELED zucchini, simmer until soft then blitz into what looks like everybody&#x27;s favourite calorie-laden creamy broths.....but it&#x27;s guilt free. Zucchini is ideal - purees smooth, neutral flavour that&#x27;s easily disguisable. It doesn&#x27;t taste like zucchini - just a savoury creamy soup. I&#x27;ve used it to make a healthy version of homemade Cream of Chicken Soup. But imagine the possibilies - use it in place of any soup that has a creamy white broth!

What should we make next with Spaghetti Squash?

Hubby and I really enjoyed my first time making this dish. Mine doesn’t look as colorful as yours because I chopped onions and peppers too small and sautéed them first, then added other ingredients and cooked some more so onions and peppers got a bit overcooked. Also I didn’t have fresh parsley so I used dried and fresh would have added more color to the top. Having said all that, the flavor was wonderful and the dish is unique and fun to eat!

This recipe was easy to follow and tasted great. My first spaghetti squash ever and glad I followed this recipe. Nice work!! 😃

Excellent recipe!! Takes awhile to get ready, but we'll worth it. 
Ingredients can be interchanged. Don't like peppers... Leave them out.
We had ttoo much filling to fit back into squash shells. Put the extra into ramikins. Nice lunch for another day. I still was unable to finish my half. Very creative & different!!!

This recipe is awesome. I’m not sure if the spaghetti squash we got were just really big? But there was WAYY more squash then filling. So the 2nd time we made this, I scooped the squash into a bowl & seasoned it again w/ salt & pepper. We doubled the onions, bell peppers & cheese—instead of doing a single layer w/ cheese on top, we made it like lasagna & did a double layer. It was great!

You have to be an elephant to consume this much food.  Half of the recipe would more than be filling for two people.  Tasteless and definitely not worth repeating.

It was a great meal. Very easy to prepare

Made this tonight it was great! Thanks for an awesome recipe! Will make again!

Absolutely amazing! Making it again real soon.

This Primavera Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Tastes Like Summer

Recipe video above. This is just a really tasty, quick and easy way to cook zucchini in the oven. For all those times you need a quick veggie side dish! A little sprinkle of parmesan adds great flavour, and breadcrumbs adds a touch of terrific texture.Roasting at a high temp makes the parmesan golden and gets some browning on the zucchini before they turn into watery mush.

Quick and Easy Baked Zucchini

600 grams/ 1.2lb zucchinis ((4 large, 5 medium))

salt and pepper

breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 240°C / 450°F (220°C fan) with the oven shelf set high in the oven.

Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut medium zucchinis in quarters lengthwise, and large ones into sixths (halve then cut each half into 3 lengthwise to make 6 long "wedges").

Pile zucchini on a tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Toss.

Line up in two rows so they're touching each other, with the skin side down.

Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs, then parmesan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.

Bake 12 minutes until the parmesan is golden and zucchini is soft but not soggy.

Serve immediately!

Loved it. We added spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, and olives to ours.

Ice nice to have more ideas for zucchini. Looking forward to a low-carb casserole!

Gorgeous colorful dish with so much flavor!!!

What a beautiful dish. Very healthy and perfect for a weekend after coming from the gym.

Hi Suzy,
Made this tonight and found it OK but I found it needs something to lift it. I'm so used to your recipes being flavour explosions however this was nice but not as I expected. I did add the Allspice but it wasn't mentioned in the instructions. 
I will make this again but spice it up a bit. 
I love your site and use your recipes every week, your enthusiasm for Mediterranean cuisine is intoxicating.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

I'm somewhat embarrassed here.  I've been making your recipes for awhile now and I love every single one I have tried but until today, I hadn't taken the time to thank you!  Last night I made the Mediterranean style zucchini casserole and it was absolutely delicious!  I just finished the leftovers for breakfast and it was even better the second day.  I used ground turkey since that's what I had on hand and I also tossed in some chickpeas to up the fiber.  Like many of your recipes, the ingredients are almost always on hand and the blend of flavors and spices are wonderful.  Many thanks again for your time and efforts!  Please keep your recipes coming...

This amazing Zucchini Tomato Bake from Delish.com is the best way to celebrate summer!

Zucchini Tomato Bake

lb. zucchini (about 3 medium), chopped

pt. cherry tomatoes, preferably multi-colored, halved

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

kosher salt

tbsp. torn basil, for garnish

This is a great recipe, but I added yellow onion and used Roma tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. I got it all started in a skillet wilting the onion a bit first then added the zucchini only cooking them a few minutes to evaporate some of the water in the zucchini before I  put them into the casserole dish and added the tomatoes. I also stirred basil into the mix. I think the reason some said it was watery is because cherry tomatoes can be quite juicy   Roma’s are less seedy with more flesh.

This easy vegetable tart is the best way to use crescent rolls.
