    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    I've been making this regularly as a side dish for the last few years. It goes well with almost anything. It is one of our favorite zucchini recipes.

    Most recently we had it Stuffed Pork Chops. Those also have a 5 minute prep time so the entire dinner prep was a whopping 10 minutes. And dinner was delicious. It doesn't have to take a long time to make a nutritious, yummy meal.

    My little helpers. This is a great recipe to let kids help with. I cut the zucchini and pressed the garlic through the garlic press and they did the rest. If you notice the great divide down the center I had to give them each the same number of zucchini. But I miscounted and halfway through they realized my one daughter had more zucchini. I quickly remedied the situation by moving one a few inches to the right.

    Our other favorite Zucchini Recipes include:

    Chicken Zucchini Casserole

    Easy Meatballs with Zucchini

    Keto Loaded Parmesan Zucchini Slices

    Bacon & Swiss Zucchini Bake

    Lemon & Feta Summer Zucchini Salad

    Zucchini Gratin

    Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Ingredients: zucchini, mayo, parmesan cheese, garlic, salt

    Isn't it amazing when 5 simple ingredients come together into something delicious? I love 5 ingredient recipes and have a whole category just for those. You can see all of my 5 ingredient recipes here.

    If you have very big zucchini just use a little more mayo and cheese. We prefer these a little on the soft side but if you like your zucchini more al dente just check it at the 10-minute mark and every few minutes after that.

    I served this with my EASY stuffed pork chops. For 10 minutes worth of work (that my kids helped with) this was a nice looking dinner!

      Looks delicious! Do you think it would work in an air fryer? I’ve recently gotten one and not super familiar with it yet!

        Sure! I haven't tried this yet so I'm not positive on cooking time. Maybe 7-8 minutes at 400? Lmk if you try!

      Didn't know people actually eat the zucchini skin/rind. I've always peeled them as the fresh-from-the-garden rinds are bitter and tend to be tough.

        We always eat the skin of zucchini and other summer squash. I haven't had too much luck with zucchini in my own garden but friends have given me some and those are always fine too.

      So looking forward to making this! I was wondering though if I could use a garlic parmesan butter instead of mayo? My husband is not a mayo fan. Thanks!

        About 4 pieces. Just divide how many pieces you get by 6. It will depend on how big your zucchini are.
