Flavor-packed and quick, this one-pot Easy Marry Me Zucchini is a vegan rendition of the popular Marry Me Chicken. This hearty and comforting side dish pairs well with pasta, rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini (approximately 1 cup chopped)
- 2 tbsp. vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp harissa
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil (oil drained out)
- 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp. fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- To make this dish, first peel and chop the onion and garlic.
- Then, rinse and slice the zucchini. If you choose to make the faces, I used a couple of cake decorating nozzles and a knife to carve them out. The video for this recipe demonstrates this more.
- Drain the oil from the sundried tomatoes and discard the oil and chop up the sundried tomato.
- Add the butter to a large skillet and place it on a stovetop set to medium heat.
- Then add the peeled and chopped onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often so they don't burn.
- Add the sliced zucchini, smoked paprika, harissa, oregano, red pepper flakes, sundried tomatoes, and vegetable broth.
- Cover the skillet and let this simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove the lid and gently stir the ingredients well.
- Then add in the coconut milk and stir well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. And, garnish with some chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Zucchini cooks fast. Even faster when faces are carved into the slices. So, cook the zucchini in a covered skillet for no more than 3 minutes for this marry me zucchini.
I wanted to make this a fun recipe for Halloween, so I opted to carve some faces into zucchini slices using a knife and some cake decorating nozzles. Making the faces is the most time-consuming part of this recipe. If the zucchini were simply sliced, then the prep time would be less than 5 minutes. Pair that with a cooking time of about 8-10 minutes, and this recipe can be prepped and prepared in 15 minutes!
