Zucchini Stir-Fry Tips

Do you peel zucchini?

You don't need to peel zucchini for this recipe—just cut it up and throw the slices into the skillet. If you have extra zucchini on hand, use it to learn how to cook zucchini using other methods like roasting or grilling.

What goes well with stir-fried zucchini?

Stir-fried zucchini pairs nicely with many dishes. We love it with these Seasoned Tilapia Fillets or these Basil Pork Chops.

What other seasonings can I add to stir-fried zucchini?

We recommend adding red chili pepper flakes to stir-fried zucchini for a little extra heat. Or, try throwing in a dash of an herb like thyme or rosemary! You can also add your favorite homemade spice blend.
