Isn’t zucchini an ugly word? I know that is so random but I was typing it out and kept spelling it wrong. I finally got it right and was like, “What?? That can’t be right….” and yet, it is. Anyway, I typed the word out because of a new recipe Crockpot Zucchini recipe that I want to share with y’all!
I wish I had gotten it together before Thanksgiving but it’s honestly so simple and so good, it’s any ‘anytime’ side dish. I had an intention of making a zucchini dish for Thanksgiving but didn’t want to use my oven. I have so many other meals that need roasting or baking so I opted to try the crockpot. It turned out deeelicious!
Granted, it’s 4 hours on low. SO – if you can’t be around the house at the 4 hour mark, I can’t promise it’ll turn out. I say that because the tenderness was perfect …..any longer, it may get a little mushy. If you have a fancy crockpot that just turns off, then you’re good to go!
You don’t need liquid for this Crockpot Zucchini Bake. The squash gives out enough liquid and it allows the pork rinds to stay a little crispy on top. I would double the batch for sure, if you’re serving more than 4. I honestly made this on a whim and hoped it would turn out. I wasn’t even taking into consideration the amount of people it would serve. I’m definitely doubling next time I make it!
That’s it for now. I’m keeping this short and simple – lots to do!! It’s that time of the year, right?
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
