Easy Zucchini Parmesan

This quick and healthy side dish takes just minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables. (And if you don't like using butter spray, you could melt a few pats of butter and brush the butter on with a pastry brush - whatever your preference!)Submitted by: MATCM81

This recipe was quite bland. I livened it up with some soy sauce and it was very good. My son liked it better with ketchup. - 10/11/11

I also found this recipe on Allrecipes.com a while ago, and absolutely love it! It is just so fresh and flavorful. I made it for a luncheon we had at work once, and everyone just had to have the recipe. This is definitely a keeper in my cookbook! - 5/15/11

I love this! I have some Israeli couscous and it will be great for this! Can't wait! I have another recipe for couscous salad...I'll have to find it and post it! My husband isn't wild about it, but I have a work friend who loves it and turned me on to it! It really helps to cool my cravings - 12/18/10
