This time of year zucchini is one of the easiest vegetables to find around here. It is so prolific! My husband and I like zucchini, but our kids not so much. So I am always looking for ways to make it tastier for them, rather than just sauteing it. I’ve tried making Chocolate Cake with it, but while that tastes great it isn’t something I can serve as a vegetable with dinner. So this week I added a little bit of bacon and cherry tomatoes to my zucchini for a different taste.
The result was delicious. It is one of the few times I have made zucchini that there haven’t been any leftovers! My kids said it was, “Better than usual” which as far as I am concerned is high praise.
Zucchini with Bacon and Tomatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 slices bacon
- 1 zucchini sliced thin
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a fry pan until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, drain the grease, and wipe it out with a paper towel so there is only a small amount of bacon grease left in the pan.
- Sautee the sliced zucchini for 10 minutes until it is nicely cooked. Sprinkle with a little salt if desired.
- While it is cooking halve the cherry tomatoes, mince the garlic and chop the bacon.
- When the zucchini is cooked add the tomatoes, garlic and bacon and cook for about 1 minute more.

I never quite know what to make with zucchini besides bread! Thanks for anything recipe!
Stuff zucchini halves with meatloaf mix and bake. I do this with over-large zucchini.
This looks super easy to make and it looks yummy, too!
Yum. We eat a lot of zucchini lately and I just saute it in butter with lots of pepper. This looks even better. Because bacon makes everything better.
Yum! I bet zucchini and bacon together is really good!
Delish! I just might get my husband to eat zucchini now if I make it with bacon like this, LOL!
Mmmm, I’d love a big plate of that for dinner today!
Well hello, I pinned this baby!! YUM!
I make something like this a lot this time of year. One exception is before serving top with your favorite shredded cheese and cover for a couple of minutes. I’ve used canned diced tomatoes when fresh weren’t available.
