My favorite zucchini recipes

Published about 7 hours ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader,

I just scored a bag of beautiful organic zucchini and summer squash at Costco the other day, which included (4) large zucchini. Now my mission is to use it up as quickly as possible!

That got me thinking that you might be in the same boat. Whether you are growing zucchini in your garden or you picked up a little too much at the market (or Costco!), you probably need some ideas on how to use it up.

I've got (7) of my favorite zucchini recipes linked below. They include dinner, snack and baking ideas, but if you need even more inspiration, be sure to browse all of my zucchini recipes as well.

What is your favorite way to use zucchini? Hit reply and let me know!

Happy cooking,

Marcie

My Favorite Zucchini Recipes

​Crispy Zucchini Fritters​

This is my favorite savory zucchini recipe -- I just can't resist a crispy fritter! Serve with a big dollop of cool, creamy cilantro lime Greek yogurt for a simple summer side dish or appetizer!

​Zucchini Lasagna​

This is summer comfort food! The heavy pasta is swapped with layers of zucchini to lighten it up, but it's got a hearty Italian sausage marinara and plenty of cheese to make it satisfying. You won't miss the pasta!

​Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips​

These have been a reader favorite for years. The only trick is to slice the zucchini very thinly using a mandoline or very sharp knife so that they get crispy. Coat in breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and bake to golden brown, crispy perfection!

​Grilled Zucchini and Corn Salad​

I grill vegetables constantly in the summertime, and this is one of my favorite combos. It's tossed with fresh basil and lime juice and truly can't be simpler.

​Air Fryer Zucchini Fries​

These fries are another fun snack that comes together quickly and they disappear just as fast! If you don't have an air fryer, bake them in the oven at 425 degrees on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet until golden and crispy.

​Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread​

Chocolate and zucchini is one of my favorite combinations...I mean I do love chocolate. :) This loaf bakes up tender and fluffy with rich chocolate flavor and simple real food ingredients that you can feel good about!

​Oat Flour Zucchini Muffins​

It's no secret that I love baking with oat flour. These muffins tell you why -- it lends a soft, fluffy texture and nutty flavor that makes it special. These muffins are studded with mini dark chocolate chips that are optional (but not really). :)

Hi Reader, I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! We went a party that day, then came home early to be with our dog during the fireworks. Like most pets, the noise makes him a little anxious, and our neighborhood puts on quite a display every year. Being that is was America's 250th birthday, it was extra loud and long, but we loved the celebration! Now that the holiday is over, I'm getting back to planning my meals and new recipes that I want to work on. Corn, peaches, cherries, grilled...
