How to Prepare Zucchini in 3 Ways

The zucchini is a very versatile ingredient you can always have handy around the kitchen. You can fry them, sauté them, stuff them, roast them, and use them to make a variety of dishes. They are far from expensive and very easy to prepare.
5-Minute Crafts wants to show you 3 different ways to make them.

  • 2 tablespoons of sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro
  • 1 pinch of dried oregano
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and oregano, then season everything with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Glaze the zucchini slices with the vinaigrette you prepared earlier.
