Vegetables for breakfast are the way to go: Hear us out. If breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, then starting things out with a balance of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals seems like the right choice. Thankfully, there's no need for a cooking frenzy to get this kind of healthy meal into your morning routine. These zucchini bundles are easy to make and quite satisfying. Topped with a dollop of pesto-yogurt and an egg, this vegetarian dish will satisfy any morning craving.
If you can't find zoodles (most stores sell them pre-made in the vegetable aisle) or a spiralizer to make them, slice the zucchini into very thin, long matchsticks and twirl into bundles—the oil and salt will help soften them up. Once you get a handle on this recipe, adapt the flavor of the yogurt sauce (try olive tapenade) or swap out the tomatoes for other veg—roasted bell peppers are a nice place to start.
