Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute ground meat with sautéed mushrooms or lentils.
  • Make sure to salt the zucchini slices and let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
