    Terri’s Tips:

  • You can substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs, only use 1/2 of amount when using dried herbs as they are stronger
  • Leaving the skin on the zucchini provides more nutrients and color

    Cooking Wiser:

  • The salt can be omitted and you won’t miss it; the herbs provide great flavor
