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!
