LOVE THIS RECIPE!! After harvesting tons of Zucchini and yellow squash from my garden, I have been looking for great recipes for them. This one really made a huge hit with the family and dinner guest! One family member would never eat zucchini before. I have to say not only did she love them but she went back for seconds! Thanks Puala for all your great recipes.

I made this recipe right after the show and it was amazing. I was getting tired of making zucchini fries or just baking zucchini in the oven with onions and a dash of salt. I'm pretty sure this recipe could be used for any type of vegetable.

I was watching your show one day and you prepared this recipe. I tried it the next day and my family loved it. I even sent my Mother in law a couple (she lives beside me) and she loved it too. I'm a cardiac patient so the next time I made the recipe, instead of frying, I put it in the oven until each side was golden brown. Still loved it.

This is a new recipe that I tried this past weekend and my husband and guest just loved it. My husband said he would gladly help and shred the squash anytime I want (since my arm gets tired easily)
