What is the Best Skillet Zucchini Recipe?

A single pan or skillet! 6 essential ingredients and almost no dishes. A health bomb that will cook quickly. If there are family members who don’t like zucchini, it will smell good enough to attract even their attention.

So is that all? It’s funny for dinner, but one serving is only 185 calories. So this means that if you don’t follow a special diet, pasta with tomato paste is the best accompaniment.

Tip:

Making pasta with tomato sauce is relatively easy. For this, fry some onions and your favorite spices, add 2 tbsp of tomato paste and 1 small grated tomato it, and add the boiled pasta to this sauce by taking some of the pasta water. That’s all!

What’s the other magic? It has a very low sodium content. We know that each person should consume less than 2,300 mg of sodium approximately per day. Still, our eating habits force us to exceed the figure, and over time, we will inevitably develop high blood pressure.

This zucchini dish contains only 360mg of sodium per serving, which is good news. But what else?

The carb ratio of this dish is indeed too perfect to ignore. With a carb ratio that will place it at the top of the low-carb meals category, this zucchini dish contains only 4g of carbs per serving.

It is also a must-try option for vegetarians. It will undoubtedly provide you with full flavor and vitamins.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 1 medium green pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 5 Garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 fl. oz. water
  • 1.3 fl. oz. sunflower oil
  • 1/2 tsp. dried mint
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. Chili flakes
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Put 2 zucchini to start preparing this recipe that will spread its delicious smell throughout the whole kitchen. Slice them into rings about 2 cm thick.
  • Now, get a skillet. Arrange the zucchini slices in it. Drizzle sunflower oil over them, then add some water. Divide 1/2 tsp salt into 3 portions and sprinkle 1/3 over the zucchini slices. Cover the skillet and cook over medium heat.
  • Next, thoroughly wash the 2 fresh tomatoes because we will be using them unpeeled to get all their benefits. For this reason, ensure they are washed thoroughly. Chop the tomatoes into rounds. Then, check the zucchini; if they start to soften a little, arrange the tomato slices on top. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the salt over the tomatoes at this stage.
  • Peel and grate 5 cloves of fresh garlic, then sprinkle them over the cooking ingredients. Let it cook a little longer, ensuring the skillet lid is closed.
  • When the tomatoes start to soften, break 4 eggs over the ingredients and immediately close the lid. When the eggs are about to cook, sprinkle the remaining salt over them. Finally, add all the other spices and close the lid again. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked.
  • That’s all!

    Bon Appétit!

Notes

  • If you want to optionally add green peppers, add them at this stage.
