Simple but full of flavor, this Spicy Asian Zucchini is another wonderful, healthy side dish for you to try It’s ready in under 10 minutes too!

I love finding new ways to cook zucchini. Especially this time of year when it is so plentiful at the farmer’s markets. I usually have loads in our garden but I failed this year in garden anything.

Some of my favorite zucchini recipes include these Baked Zucchini Cakes, this Zucchini Casserole and these Mexican Zucchini Boats

I have never used sriracha sauce. It’s another one, like the Thai chili sauce that I tried for the first time making this Bang Bang Shrimp and Pasta, that I have heard of but never bought. I found it alongside the hot sauces and buffalo sauces in the condiment aisle.

I am not a “hot, hot” food kind of girl. You can certainly adjust the “hot” in this recipe to your liking. Add more if you like more kick. Use 1 tablespoon if you want just a little bitty bit. Two tablespoons were perfect for us.

Serve with Soy Lime Grilled Chicken Tenders and Ginger Sesame Slaw for another great healthy meal.
