When my kids were little, serving them veggies was a challenge. Let’s face it; from time to time we all need to change things up a bit when it comes to our veggies, right? That’s why I always kept and still keep spiralized zucchini in the fridge for easy family meals.

This practical spiralized zucchini recipe comes together quickly, literally in a matter of minutes. Spiralizing veggies is a great way to change up their shape and texture and they cook super fast!

Ingredients

To turn zucchini into a delicious side dish, this recipe includes cherry tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, a pinch of red crushed pepper flakes for a note of heat, and salt. The ultimate time-saving tip for this recipe is to have the zucchini pre-spiralized and ready to be used when you need it.

You’ll see how to make this side in the recipe card video, but in a nutshell, you sauté garlic with onion, then add tomatoes and seasonings. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Then, add spiralized zucchini and simmer for a few minutes.

Best Sides for Spiralized Zucchini and Tomatoes

The neutral flavor of this dish makes it pair great with everything, including turkey burgers, meatless meatballs, or pork loin roast. If I don't pair this with grilled chicken or baked salmon, I like to add a big scoop of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese over these right before serving.
