Easy Garlic Zucchini
"I love zucchini and both my boyfriend and I agree that this is the best zuchinni side dish I have ever made! Tons of flavor, healthy and super easy. Note: I was drinking a glass of wine while making this, so figured I'd throw a splash in LOL I personally think it made quite a difference."

Since discovering this recipe, my girlfriend and I have made zucchini a staple in our diet; this recipe is so easy and so yummy. We even substituted asparagus and although it wasn't as good as the original, it still turned out very good. Although I love cooking with wine, we don't use it in this recipe. -
Mmmm..we like zucchini and this has great flavor. I made exactly as directed which was fine. Next time I'm going to try substituting apple juice for the wine just to try it since we always have apple juice and sometimes the wine just slips away. Also going to try julienne the zucchini since we have that in our freezer from our garden. Thank you!

I loved it! I love zucchini as well and I agree that the wine really made the difference. I left out the water and didn't have and onion salt so I omitted that as well. Will definitely be a staple for me -
I really like the concept of this recipe, but the spices were a little intense--even with a doubled amount of zucchini. I'd recommend making it with 2 zucchinis and maybe half the amount of garlic, pepper, and onion salt. Either way, great way to get more vegetables in, and super easy to prepare--thanks for posting it.

Love to cook! I'm originally from Somerville MA (pretty much Boston) and recently moved up to Salem with my fabulous boyfriend. Since moving in together I have been a cooking machine! I love cooking new things and being innovative. My boyfriend makes a great guinea pig as he'll try anything and give me an honest opinion.
