Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Bacon, and Crispy Onions

July 17, 2017

Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Bacon, and Crispy Onions is the BEST easy zucchini recipe! Your family will love the incredible flavors in this zucchini side dish recipe!

Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Bacon, and Crispy OnionsZucchini with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Bacon, and Crispy Onions is the perfect side dish to convert a veggie hater. Do you ever hear someone say that they don’t like vegetables? And when you ask them which ones they don’t like, they say all of them!? This statement seriously blows my mind. I just don’t understand how someone cannot like any veggies. I know that not every veggie is super tasty, but come on, you have to like at least one! I honestly think that if someone says they don’t like vegetables, then they just haven’t had them prepared to their liking yet.

Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomato, Bacon, and Crispy Onions

Well if you have someone who doesn’t like zucchini in your life, then you need to make them this zucchini with sun dried tomatoes, bacon, and crispy onions. There are so many strong, delicious flavors and they just all work together so well! Zucchini is a great vegetable to use when trying to convert a non-veggie eater because the flavor is so mild and it can be cooked with just about anything. And seriously, what’s not to love about a veggie mixed with bacon and cheese!? Yes…there’s cheese too!

Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomato, Bacon, and Crispy OnionsI first made this easy recipe for Easter, but without the bacon. It was great, but I knew it would be even better with the addition of bacon. We all agreed that this was amazing with the addition, but if you are looking for a completely vegetarian dish, it still tastes great without it!

Zucchini with Sun Dried Tomato, Bacon, and Crispy OnionsCrispy fried onions are so popular on top of green beans at Thanksgiving time but I love them for so many other dishes as well! They are the perfect salty bite on top of this zucchini recipe but I have used them as a replacement for croutons in my favorite blackened Caesar salad recipe too! They are really versatile so don’t just tuck them away in the pantry for the holidays!

Zucchini with Dried Tomatoes, Bacon, and Crispy Onions

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized zucchini sliced into 1/2 inch pieces and then quartered
  • 4 slices of bacon sliced into pieces
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 cup crispy fried onions
  • 1/2 cup freshly shaved parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat a saute pan to medium high heat. Add the bacon pieces and cook until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and then add zucchini to the bacon drippings ( if you have more than a tbsp. or two, then drain first) and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until it begins to soften. Add the sun dried tomatoes and cook another 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
  3. Add half the parmesan and the bacon and then stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Make sure to add these seasonings after adding the bacon and cheese as they are both salty foods. Once seasoned, add the rest of the cheese to the top and the crispy onions.
  4. Serve immediately.

      In order for Google to index our post and recipe, we have to include at least 300 words in each post, so instead of just having a giant post of text, it is nicer to break it up into paragraphs with photos in between. I also spend a lot of time on the photography so want to include as many nice photos as I can!

    Did you know…ingredients should be listed in the order they go in in the recipe? Sorry, I am a recipe developer cookbook author. Makes it easier for people to follow the recipe. e.g onions go last. I thought maybe you had to fry some up!
    I will try it.

      Hi Yvonne. I did know that is how they are supposed to be written for cookbooks, but I prefer to write mine with most important ingredients first, and then spices. It is just the format I prefer so if someone scanning the recipe to see if they have the ingredients, they see the most crucial first and the pantry staples, such as oil and salt and pepper last. Thank you for your input and I hope you try the recipe! It is really delicious!

      Hi Cherlyn, I’m so sorry but I have no idea how to calculate that! It is definitely on the low carb side though!
