Gluten Free Side Dish: Sesame Parmesan Zucchini from Allrecipes.com

By Amanda S., Gluten Free Edmonton

We are always looking for unique and tasty gluten free side dishes to accompany our meals. While we do eat a lot of salad, I find sometimes it’s good to change it up a little bit and add in some other vegetables and flavour combinations.

The other day when I tried the zucchini crust pizza I was unsure about how much zucchini to buy, so I sorta over bought and now I’m trying to find new and interesting ways to use up the leftover zucchini. There’s the ole faithful, grilled zucchini or chocolate zucchini bread, but I was looking for something easy, quick and different today. This is what I found (courtesy of allrecipes.com)

Mmm mmm mmm. That’s all I can say. It was a great way for us to use up some of the zucchini I bought with limited effort required. To me it is always a plus if you already have all of the ingredients in the cupboard anyways. Pure and simple!
