Zucchini is one of those things that literally can be thrown into everything and it’s delicious.
Zucchini is also known as “courgette and is a variety of the marrow squash. It has more potassium than a banana and is about 95% water!
Smaller zucchinis that are between 6-8 inches are the most flavorful – so don’t always look for the biggest!
