Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound zucchini (about 3 medium)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 slices bacon, chopped
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cut the zucchini into long noodles using a spiralizer (or use 1 pound store-bought zucchini noodles). Set aside.
  • Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Spread on the hot baking sheet and bake until the tomatoes are slightly softened and just browned around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes.

Melt the butter in the skillet and add the scallion whites and garlic; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to combine, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk, mustard, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese until smooth.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the zucchini is just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the zucchini to the cheese sauce, leaving any extra liquid in the skillet.

This is a quick and easy vegetable dish my mother made frequently, using vegetables fresh from our garden. Almost any type of cheese can be substituted if your family doesn't care for blue cheese.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Tomatoes

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices bacon
8 small zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch slices
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 pinch salt
2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
⅛ teaspoon dried basil
ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Crumble, and return to pan. Add zucchini, onion, and salt to the bacon; cook, stirring frequently, until zucchini is tender-crisp.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. These hold their shape well during cooking and won't get too mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of roast and won't get crispy.
  • Roast the potatoes until they're golden brown: The potatoes are done roasting when they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but can vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Don't skip the bacon: The bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the potatoes. If you don't eat bacon, you can substitute another type of meat, such as ham or sausage.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the potatoes with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme. This adds a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Zucchini and bacon potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They're crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. The addition of bacon and zucchini makes them extra special. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
