Ingredients
Either green or yellow zucchini can be used for this recipe. I also suggest leaving the skin on the veggie to keep them sturdy.
We love olive oil for the slices but any favorite oil can be used.
Center cut bacon is lean and I prefer it for this easy snack. You can also use turkey bacon.
