So Easy! Cheesy Garlic Zucchini Rice

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth* (I used vegetable stock and it was totally fine!)
• 1 cup rice*
• 2 zucchini, shredded
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Stir in vegetable broth and rice. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in zucchini and cheese; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and let stand until cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Serve immediately.

*Water can be substituted.

*Brown rice or quinoa can be substituted, but cooking time may have to be adjusted as needed.
