Hi Cynthia
If you’re looking for a simple but nutritious meal idea, you can’t go wrong with this recipe! I love Zucchini and cooked this way sounds tasty and fresh.
I like the two hacks you suggest at the bottom of the recipe – the idea of adding whatever is to hand is a great way to use up any other leftovers and the fact that it’ll keep in a fridge for up to 5 days means you can prepare it in advance and grab it when you need it – definitely better for me than getting a takeaway delivered!
I see you have loads of other recipes on your site, so I’m going to have a look around to see what else I can find.
Thanks and best wishes
John
Thank you for your kind comments. Enjoy!
Thanks for your recipe. I’ve recently started Keto and am always looking for delicious, keto-friendly ideas. Zuchini are definitely keto friendly. Also, you use olive oil, which is super healthy. I see you use dry rosemary. I’m wondering if I could use fresh rosemary? Do you think it would ruin the recipe? The reason I ask is because fresh rosemary (and fresh herbs in general) have a bolder flavor than the dried versions. Thanks so much for a great recipe.
You can definitely substitute 1½ tsp fresh rosemary for the dried!
