Skip the potatoes! This will be your new favorite side. Zucchini is so versatile, it will take on any flavor you want it to. So quick and easy and the whole family loves it. Pick your dipping sauce or drizzle sauce, to each their own. Here I topped it with a balsamic glaze and some crumbled goat cheese (my fave). Dipped in ranch or fry sauce, amazing. Get adventurous and cut out the middles and make zucchini rings out of them (kids love it). Also great with yellow squash.
