Z is for Zucchini

 

Yeah, what did you expect? Zucchini is a favorite summer squash of mine.

Zucchini is a versatile, nutrient-rich vegetable that's typically green, cylindrical, and has a mild flavor, though yellow varieties exist. It's easily cooked by roasting, sautéing, or grilling, often paired with yellow summer squash, and is best when chosen small to medium-sized for optimal flavor and texture. 

12 Health and Nutrition Benefits of Zucchini

I often add cooked zucchini and yellow squash to my pasta sauce, to make it a chunkier sauce. Zucchini is delicious cooked plain, with onion, garlic salt and seasonings. It's such a versatile vegetable, without much flavor, so it can be made into a savory or a sweet dish. 

I haven't tried these recipes yet, but they sound good:

Thank you for joining me on this journey through the alphabet. I hope you have learned a bit more about a whole food plant based life style. I hope you'll check back often, because I hope to be more consistent in blogging here. (Yeah, I know; I said that the last time I participated in the A to Z blogging challenge! LOL)

Have a blessed day!
