Notes
Tips & Tricks: "medium zucchini" is rather subjective but I use zucchini that are around 10" long 2 to 3" thick.For the spices, grinding your own spices is really the key to flavor but pre-ground spices will work. Use a 1:1 ratio.Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: zucchini, spices, lemonNutrition: see the information.
