They’re also good pickled in banh mi sandwiches or summer rolls, you can grate them and use them as a curry base instead of tomato or hide the grated carrot in a tomato sauce or chili. I will also make carrot cake smoothies - carrot, banana with cinnamon and milk/ice/protein.

    In Midway Utah, during the summer, if you leave your windows rolled down on your car when you're parked, someone will leave you a 10-20lbs bag of Zucchini. The whole town is inundated with zucchini plants. It's too hot to cook any of it.
    Here's my favorite recipe for raw zucchini salad:
    3-4 Zucchini
    1 Carrot
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tbsp olive oil
    Salt
    Pepper
    1. Using a peeler, peel the skin of the zucchini. Then peel the zucchini into strips and stop when you reach the seeds. Raw zucchini seeds have a weird taste; you don't want them in your salad. Repeat with all your zucchini.
    2. Peel and julienne your carrot
    3. Place your zucchini and carrot into a bowl, salt, and let sit for 10-15 min. After, place them into a kitchen towel and squeeze all the water out
    4. Dress the zucchini with lemon juice, olive oil and pepper
    This salad is great because it will keep in the fridge for a week and stay nice and crunchy. It tastes best the next day after the vegetables have time to marinate in the dressing.

Basically just shredded, salted and drained zucchini mixed with shredded gruyere, spread on pizza dough then topped with some breadcrumbs. I throw a little garlic and red pepper flakes into the mix. Something about the zucchini/cheese mixture gives this very satisfying texture, like the zucchini melds into the cheese. I probably make that once a month. So simple and good!

    I found a recipe to use up a large amount of zucchini I had and instantly fell in love. It was definitely very rich and would pair well with something that had a more bright/light flavor. Creamed Zucchini with garlic and basil! Absolutely delicious!

    My aunt learned how to make those zuccini fritters --what we called "Zuccini cakes"-- from her mother in law who is Italian. We live in a unique sort of region in Ontario, Canada where there's been a lot of intermingling of portuguese, italian, polish, and greek communities because of the Catholic background and an influx of immigration from those countries all at the same time in the sixties. So it's always fun trying to parse out... what is really from one heritage or other, and what has sort of been popped over and shared over time. All I know is it's one heckin' delicious good time.

    In France when we have extra zucchini, we do Beignets de Courgette, which is exactly what you think : we dump zucchini slices into a beignet batter then we fry them. It's very good as it's light (even if it's fried)

    I love frying zucchini in a crust of corn flour. I cut the zucchini in thin round shapes, put them into a bowl and add salt to them and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to get all the moisture out. Meanwhile I mix corn flour with salt, pepper and garlic powder , heat some sunflower oil in a pan. Then I take the zucchini and dip it in the flour ( because they have been in a bowl together they are still wet but not on the inside, that makes the flour stick to it) and fry them on both sides on medium heat until the crust is golden. They become like zucchini chips really. I make them at least twice a week.
    You can also fry them the same way but with eggs and white flour. Just dip them in the flour first, then in the eggs (add some salt and pepper ) and they are amazing. The secret is to not cut them too thick. 🌷

    I recently started a keto-like diet and this was super inspiring to come up with some fun dishes for zucchini, perfect timing on this video. The recipes that call for flour can be subbed for a almond flour instead and have similar results
