Best Sides for Spiralized Zucchini and Tomatoes

While you’ll feel full right after eating this delicious dish, you might get hungry a few hours later. My solution? I like to add a big scoop of cottage cheese or ricotta cheese over these right before serving if I don’t pair this with grilled chicken or baked salmon.

The neutral flavor of this dish makes it pair great with everything, including turkey burgers, meatless meatballs, or pork loin roast. Yummy!
