Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. If you're short on time, pre-shredded zucchini works well but be sure to squeeze out excess moisture. Adding herbs like thyme or dill can enhance the flavor. This dish also makes a great base for variations—consider adding cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms.
