In the world of quick, easy, and delicious recipes, Stella Drivas, also known as Hungry Happens, has a new offering that's sure to impress. Her forthcoming cookbook, set to hit the shelves soon, includes a tantalising recipe for Parmesan Zucchini Rings.
The recipe, which can also be found on Stella's Instagram page, is a fantastic way to use up surplus zucchinis. The process is straightforward: slice the zucchinis into rings, remove the core, and coat them in a little oil, seasoning, fresh grated Parmesan, and optional BBQ seasoning and minced garlic. After a brief 15-minute stint in the oven, you'll have crispy, golden zucchini rings that are both filling and satisfying.
But that's not all. The removed middle bits of the zucchini can be transformed into a dip. Saute these bits with fresh minced garlic, BBQ seasoning, and then blend them with grated Parmesan and olive oil in a food processor. This low-calorie, low-carb dip, with approximately 83 calories and 7g of carbs per serving, can be seasoned differently to avoid monotony and can even be made spicy.
This family-friendly dip was enjoyed by Stella's daughters and could be a great addition to a picnic, school lunch boxes, or as a healthy alternative to chips at parties or family gatherings. In fact, it could be a wonderful addition to your meal plan, offering a refreshing change from the usual fare.
