    I just made a farro risotto with diced zucchini. Make it the same way you would make regular risotto. It was so good and much healthier than using arborio rice.

    I do this but I also add garlic with the onions and top it all off with lots of parmesan cheese! YUM!

    I sauté a little onion in some olive oil, add zucchini, then add either fresh chopped tomatoes or a can of tomatoes. Cover and simmer until zucchini is soft. Of course, season with salt, pepper and whatever other seasonings you may like.

    I love zucchini. I found a ton of recipies in pinterest. One of my favoritefavorites is using it as a pasta substitute, or eating it plane. I have a veggini (hopefully that's the right name) but it cuts the zuchini in spaghetti form. Saute it in olive oil and your fav spices. We also added pesto to it one time, when the man wanted
    pesto chicken. Boy was it good. I also use the zuchini in queche.

    I make whatever I'd be making anyway and put zuchinni in it.

    Also these are amazing:

    And I don't bother separating the eggs or beating the egg whites and it works just fine.

    Sliced zucchini, thin sliced onions, sliced tomatoes, alternate the veges in a baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic powder, italian seasoning and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup low fat mozzerella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes covered at 350. Makes 4 servings. Definite favorite in my house.

    zucchini boats - basically stuffed zucchini. cut lengthwise, scoop out seeds and some of the flesh, chop up removed seeds and flesh, add garlic powder, parmesan cheese (if you're eating cheese), breadcrumbs; rice or your favorite grain, if you like vegetarian sausage. Mix it up and stuff back into shells. Pour some marinara in pan, put stuffed boats into sauce pour more sauce around. lightly brush with olive oil. bake.

    You could probably look up stuffed peppers and tomatoes and use that same filling or most anything you want to stuff it. If you look online I dont' know if you'll actually find vegetarian version, but just leave out the meat.


    This is what I was going to say - but sometimes I change it up to have a 'pizza' style mix in it for that Italian flair with little chunks of pepperoni or sausage and some mozzarella on top. Adds some cals, but if you account for them, it works!

    zucchini "tots" I bake them in muffin tins-grated zucchini, eggs, parm and breadcrumbs.
    I also like zucchini boats, you could do them meatless-like pizza with marinara and cheese and whatever toppings you like.
    Also, I grate it into pasta and add pesto, but you could get a spiralizer and do all zucchini "noodles".

    Zucchini is also great in breads and muffins! Use applesauce instead of oil. Tons of recipes online.

    100g cherry tomatoes
    50g corn
    One pack of wholy guacamole or half an avocado
