Method

Prepare rice according to package directions. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook zucchini and garlic, stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes or until zucchini is tender-crisp.

Add rice; cook, stirring, for 1 or 2 minutes or until combined. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over top. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 2 or 3 minutes or until cheese melts.

Tips:

1. For added protein, stir in 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) drained and rinsed chickpeas or 1 cup (250 mL) chopped cooked chicken.

2. Add 1 tsp (5 mL) dried Italian seasoning blend if desired.
