Fried Zucchini with garlic and vinegar sauce

Zucchini in garlic vinegar sauce

If you’re looking for a simple, easy side dish, this zucchini in garlic vinegar sauce is probably the best choice. It really is as easy as 1,2,3 and it’s also super quick, 15 minutes from start to finish.

This used to be one of my mom’s signature side dishes and we were crazy about it, most likely because of the garlic addition. For some reason we kind of forgot how yum this recipe is and haven’t made it in ages.

My husband and I were looking for a side dish to complement an oven baked pork with potatoes dish and we wanted something light yet strongly flavored. And the zucchini in garlic vinegar sauce recipe came to mind!

I normally don’t like vinegar but it’s strong taste, mixed with garlic and a bit of olive oil makes a perfect match to the mentioned pork recipe. Plus I love it that it helps me feel full faster so I won’t have to worry about eating too much. 

If you want to make this recipe super healthy, have your zucchini grilled instead of frying them. They’ll be slightly crunchier and will taste a little smoky.
