SEASONED ZUCCHINI IN A SKILLET
This is always how I cook my zucchini- the Cavenders Greek seasoning compliments it beautifully. Cavenders seasoning is available in most good grocery stores. I am cutting down on salt intake but feel free to add salt if you like.

- Add the Cavenders seasoning once the zucchini has softened and released some liquid so the seasoning doesn't burn or stick.
- Serve hot when cooked to your liking.
