Best of all, as everyone knows, zucchinis are garden marvels. Packed with vitamin C, K, B6, folate, potassium and manganese, they are wonderfully healthy. Not to mention, zucchini is rich in things like carotenoids, aka anti-oxidants, and have lots of healthy fiber too.
While you might think the sprinkling of rosemary, thyme and onions are what give this dish its flavor, the truth is, the vegetable bouillon is what really packs the punch. If you’re on the hunt for more flavor, increase the amount of bouillon, or rather less, decrease.
When cooking, go for that not too crispy, but still golden brown here and there, finish. Zucchini already has a wonderful tender crunchiness to it, so we’re just looking to add a bit complexity to each bite.
