Sautéed Zucchini Coins ~Instead of breaded and fried, these sautéed zucchini coins are lightly sauteed and tossed with herbs. This reduced-fat version also features olive oil, which is mainly monounsaturated fat. Zucchini is a great side for almost any meal. It is great as part of a veggie meal too! My family loves zucchini straight from the garden. We never get tired of finding ways to incorporate zucchini in our meals.
