Chef's notes
You can add red pepper flakes for heat.
Skip the lemon juice, and drizzle the squash with a balsamic vinegar reduction for a sweet and tangy finish.
Top it with dollops of pesto.
Sprinkle it with feta or Parmesan cheese. Vegan Parmesan would also be great!
No fresh herbs handy? Toss the cooked zucchini with pinches of Italian seasoning.
Or serve it with romesco sauce.
