Zesty Zucchini and Squash

  4.3 – 90 reviews  • Zucchini

For Thanksgiving or to serve with roast chicken, this traditional dressing is a fantastic side dish. It’s easy to make and filling because it only calls for saltine crackers, celery, onions, and herbs.

So delicious. I only used one large zucchini, one large yellow squash. Used a whole purple onion and can of Rotel. . Felt Like it needed more tomato so added 1/2 can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion. cooked On high about 10 minutes – stirring frequently.

This was really good.

This turned out fantastic and only took maybe 15 min to cook. I covered with a lid and kept stirring so it would not stick

Follow directions only omitted diced tomatoes. Next time I may add them (just not a fan of tomatoes). Overall it was good, just what I was looking for.

Topped with cheddar one time and moz another GREAT
Theodore Griffin
Loved this! Jazzed up stewed squash which I thought was very blah!
Linda Harris
Easy and good. Instead of boiling ingredients it’s good sauteing squashes and onion in skillet in a little olive oil or cooking spray till tender, then adding remaining ingredients till heated through. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese or shredded Mexican or cheese of choice.

Excellent. used fresh garlic and did add additional thyme, but this recipe is an easy winner. I actually did not boil the veggies, I sauteed them. Even though I overcooked the zucchini and squash a little bit, it was delicious, and actually even a little tastier two days later. One time i made it I did not have the chiles, so I used 8 ounces of medium salsa, and it was also awesome. Since it is so simple, this can be easily adjusted to taste French, Italian, or other flavors.

Excellent side dish; exactly like my mom used to make!
Aimee Hall
A nice change from our usual Zucchini/Yellow squash dish. I like the slight heat the chili’s provided. The next day I warmed the leftovers with a sprinkle of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese – delicious!
Susan Marks
Easy to make and delicious! I did toss the vegetables in salad supreme first and then added the remaining ingredients. Delicious!
Katrina Cole
VERY GOOD. One can of tomatoes is enough.
Brittany Barnes
Very good and easy recipe. Add a little cheese to make it even better!
Stephanie Lynn
The zucchini ended up overcooked and the squash was barely cooked. Hubby really liked this dish anyway so I may do this again as a side but I surely won’t be using butternut squash and will add the zucchini half way through cooking time.

I used all fresh ingredients from my garden and used minced garlic instead of powdered and used fresh chopped peppers & tomatoes and boiled in 1/4 cup of water in sauce pan. Salt &. Pepper to taste.
Gabriel Bartlett
Super simple and quick squash recipe. We enjoyed its flavors with the tomato and chile peppers. There was a nice balance here.
Sean Gonzalez
This was really easy and a healthy option for a side. I love sautéd zucchini with red pepper flakes, so this was a nice variety to my usual.

Very good. I sauteed the diced onion & 2 cloves of garlic until soft & fragrant then added the squash & mild Rotel tomatoes sprinkled some pepper, garlic salt. Cooked for 20 min. Before serving I dotted with a little butter & some shredded cheddar cheese. I served it over wheat spaghetti with a side of garlic bread & fruit. So simple but so delicious!
