I know, right?!? I just saute up a little onion, dump in some zucchini, and then in the last minute or two I toss in some minced garlic. Add a little salt & pepper and mmmmm. I won't say I'd choose it over bacon, but it's not much further down the list.
My other favorite veggie is butternut squash, but it's not in season right now. It tastes so rich, but it's not! Even just mashed and lightly spiced, it's good. A couple times a year I'll have a real treat with a little bit of brie melted in. When Costco has the big packages of cubed butternut squash, I'll roast them in the oven with a little olive oil and then mash it all up, some eggs, green onion (sauteed in butter), a little honey (optional), dry mustard, and pepper. Then it goes into a casserole dish topped it with some shredded Parmesan/Romano blend and baked until set. Without the honey it's low carb. The butter can be kept to a minimum and as much cheese as you want can be added to taste. I sometimes saute white or yellow onion with the green and add both to the casserole. I haven't met anyone yet who hasn't liked it. It can be a main dish or a side dish.
