Use a vegetable peel to make ribbons from zucchini.
Place the oil into a non-stick sauté pan, and warm over medium heat. Add the onions to the pan, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook another 3 minutes. Season with black pepper.
Set the vegetables aside. Place the pan back on the burner, and add the bread crumbs and lemon zest. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about two minutes. Sprinkle the lemon crumbs over the vegetables and serve warm.
