Sauteed Zucchini with Tomatoes and Garlic



Recommended Posts

I made up last night. It turned out really good.

3 medium size zucchini sliced thin (I use a mandolin)

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning

1 can of diced tomatoes (regular size, I'm guessing 14 oz)

Parmesan cheese for topping

Heat a small amount of EVOO in a sautee pan, when heated add the 2 cloves of minced garlic. Add italian seasoning to pan. Saute about 2 minutes (just don't burn the garlic!) Add thinly sliced zucchini to the pan. Saute for about 8 minutes or until "crisp-tender". Stir in the can of tomatoes. Let that cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over it in the pan (as much as you want according to your calories!).

Absolutely, Thanks for all the recipes you've posted GeorgiaGirl, I haven't tried them yet because I just stumbled across this area. I will try and get some of my other recipes on here soon.

I've made something similar to this but used a cheese grater and shredded the zuchinni in. It was very good, I think I also added onion and used fire roasted diced tomatoes and some other seasonings such as chili powder and cumin. Just an idea, it is very tasty,

That sound really good. I used to make a zucchini recipe similar to this that is soooo loaded with calories it's no wonder I gained weight, and to think I thought I was eating healthy!!!

I am so glad that the fresh veggies are coming on strong now. I went to the farmers market in town today just for some green Beans and ended up with basil, beans, sugar snap peas, several bunches of lettuce, red raspberries, beets, onions and garlic scapes. I just couldn't control myself :frown: What a great thing to not be able to control. We'll be eating well this week!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
