MICROWAVE-STEAMED ZUCCHINI



Microwave-Steamed Zucchini image

My daughter and I love zucchini this way. So easy....no chopping, dicing, etc. Give it a try, and use one zucchini, or as many as you need. I use non-fat spray, so extremely diet-friendly. Parmesan cheese or bacon bits are good additions.
