Notes
- Don't overcook the zucchini, it should remain crisp and bright green.
- Nutritional facts:
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- When choosing zucchini, the squash should feel heavy for its size. The skin should be a dark green color and smooth and ideally blemish-free. If the skin looks slightly shriveled, it's most likely not freshly picked.
- Don't overcook the zucchini, it should remain crisp and bright green.
- Add some chili flakes for a punch of spiciness.
- Sprinkle on some fresh parsley as garnish. Parsley works great on corn and zucchini!
- You can use frozen, canned, or fresh corn kernels.
- If time allows, grill your corn for another layer of flavor!
