Baked Zucchini

Zucchini, also known as courgette, is one of our favorite vegetables due to its low score on the glycemic index and high anti-inflammatory properties.  Mostly found in abundance during the summer months, zucchini is low in carbs & sugars and full of nutrients like manganese, potassium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A. It is also a good source of B vitamins and fiber.  Adding zucchini to the family menu is always a great idea. Here is a recipe that we love.
