Cooked zucchini is a versatile and nutritious vegetable that originates from the Mediterranean region, often featured in Italian, French, and Middle Eastern cuisines. This tender and mildly flavored vegetable is usually prepared by sautéing, steaming, roasting, or grilling. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium and fiber, cooked zucchini supports heart health, promotes digestion, and helps maintain healthy vision and skin. It’s naturally low in calories, carbohydrates, and fat, making it a popular choice for weight-conscious individuals or those following plant-based diets. Zucchini is also abundant in antioxidants, like lutein and zeaxanthin, which combat oxidative stress. While it is generally a healthy option, how it’s cooked can impact nutritional value—deep frying or excessive use of butter may add unnecessary calories and fat. For the most healthful preparation, opt for light seasoning and methods like steaming or roasting.
