Minted zucchini is a lovely and simple vegetable side dish. I like it served with grilled lamb or fish for a Mediterranean-inspired meal. That pairing is especially great in the summer, when zucchini and mint are freshest and might pop up in your CSA basket. You could use any cooking oil in this recipe, but the coconut oil flavor is really complementary in this dish.
