Here's a quick and easy vegetable skillet you can vary a multitude of ways.
Serve it as a side dish with chicken, fish or meat.
Or turn it into a one-dish meal by adding in the protein of your choice.
WW Friendly Zucchini Mushroom & Tomato Skillet
This is an easy, healthy and delicious way to serve up summer vegetables. All of these vegetables are zero points on Weight Watchers so the only ingredient that counts is the oil, adding 1 SmartPoint per teaspoon.
Fresh zucchini, yellow squash and tomatoes
Though I think zucchini, yellow summer squash, mushrooms and grape tomatoes are a winning zero-smartpoint combination, this recipe can be adjusted to suit your likes and what's available.

Jodi, The recipe has 1 tablespoon of oil and makes 6 servings and clearly states that it is 1SP per serving!
JODI KAVALER

Ashifa
what is the difference between pointplus and smartpoints and ?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Ashifa,
Weight Watchers tends to change its plan every few years based on the latest nutrition and weight loss research. SmartPoints is the latest plan, which was introduced about one year ago. PointsPlus was the plan immediately preceding SmartPoints. PointsPlus is calculated by entering a food's fat, fiber, carbs and protein into a WW PointsPlus calculator. SmartPoints are calculated by entering a food's calories, sugar, protein and saturated fat into a WW SmartPoints calculator. Hope this helps.

I love this. I did add some garlic and Italian seasoning. I also have doubled it and covered the dish and baked it for 20 minutes at 350. Great that way, too
Dianna
Super easy and yummy
Connie
I doubled the recipe, as my family enjoys, and used a small yellow onion sliced, added garlic to saute and feta, along with italian style seasonings, basil, oregano, parsley.......delicious.
