I love the soft texture of zucchinis when they’re steamed because they retain their delicate flavor. Here’s a light pot steamed zucchini recipe with bell pepper, onion, and garlic flavored with sesame oil and sesame seeds for that delicious toasty flavor. Healthy, light and delicious!

- White Onion (1 small one or 1/2 of one large onion, thinly sliced)

- Garlic (4 cloves, minced)

- Sesame Seeds (1 tablespoon)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
