I’ve eaten zucchini every single day for the past few days, and I have no plans on stopping! We are in the thick of zucchini season, and the veggie really deserves its flowers. It’s versatle, quick to prepare, easy to find, and inexpensive! ILY ZUCCHINI.

This toast is what I want to eat all summer. The zucchini gets lightly fried/sauteed until it’s soft and just starting to turn golden, which makes it delicate and slightly sweet. It goes atop some toast with some lemony ricotta, and then to round out the meal and add even more protein, it gets layered with garlicky beans that get cooked with some herbs and crushed red pepper.

Can’t wait to hear what you guys think of this one!
