Have you tried baked stuffed zucchini?
I have not, but after these recipes, I think I will be making it tonight!!
This is one of my husband's favorite ways to eat it. He didn't used to eat veggies much.... :noway:0 -
I love grilled zucchini! Slice them up thin the long way (1/4" or smaller thickness), brush or spray with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss them on the grill. They only take a few minutes per side and taste fabulous! Oh, and if you make a whole bunch at a time they freeze well, too.
Now I know what I'm having for supper :bigsmile:0 -
We have been grilling our zucchini. I cut it into slices or chunks and pair with mushrooms and onions and coat them with olive oil and seasoning (garlic and sea salt grinder is yummy!) and put them in a foil packet and grill. Also i like to saute the zucchini with olive oil, onions, garlic, broccoli, mushrooms in a huge iron skillet. Throw in some red kidney beans if you like and add mozzarella cheese. Pretty tasty.0

3 cups sliced zucchini
2 cups sliced green pepper
1 cup sliced onion
2 fresh tomatoes, chopped (or 1 large can chopped or stewed tomatoes)
2 tsps. Italian seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
Saute onion (in 1 tablespoon olive oil) till soft (about 5 minutes); add zucchini and green pepper and saute about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and seasoning last and simmer about 10 minutes.
I use this as a side dish, and if there are leftovers, it tastes better the second day.
This is good served over spaghetti squash too.0 -
Will be trying some of the stuffed zuke recipes I just read...and that zuke chocolate cake sounds interesting...any idea if it would work on a white cake? Obviously, it would look more festive, but I can probably spin that with my 6 year old.
Works with any flavor cake mix - white, yellow, spice - or brownie mix
How long is that baked? At 350 I take it?0 -
Just discovered "Zucchini noodles" and I am in love! I just shred the zucchini on a box grater using the large grate. Salt it and let sit for a few min. to start sucking moisture out. Rinse then lay out on a paper towel and try to suck up more moisture....I don't know if all these steps are needed but it's what I did.
Then I just threw in a saute pan with some olive oil and garlic for a minute or two...basically to warm it, topped with some shakes of parmesan cheese and waa laaa...instant new favorite.
Next I will be making it and topping it with some simple beef, broccoli, onion stir-fry
Then maybe some spaghetti sauce...the ideas just keep coming!0 -

Some recipes call for added tomato or spaghetti sauce.0 -
RE: Baking Zucchini cake:
Since moisture can be different each time - I do bake at 350 and bake until an inserted knife/toothpick comes out clean. It will be moist.0 -

Bump, a lot of great ideas thanks0

Idk but I hate Zucchini.0

I lightly sauté them (sliced in half lengthwise, then cut into slices, so they are 'half coins'). I add some almond slivers and garlic while sautéing, then sprinkled little freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
My husband refuses to eat zucchini. It's just for me.
He does eat zucchini muffins, though.0 -
I usually slice it up, season with some dried herbs a drop of EVOO and bake for a few minutes. Not too long though I really hate it when they are too soggy. a little garlic, basil, or dill and some pepper is my usual. It makes for a nice side.0

Made this on the weekend and fell in love with it. Freaking amazing!!! It's simply zucchini chopped and sauteed in olive oil with onion. Add a can of green chilis then mash and put in cheddar. I could eat the entire recipe, but I shared.

I use a julienne peeler (peeler with teeth to make ribbons). Love zucchini noodles instead of pasta, however the rest of the family isn't as interested. I usually cook them in a pan with some Kerry Gold butter or bacon grease. Top with some chicken and pesto and maybe some mozzarella. Yum!0

Why not make some veggie lasagna with it! Yum!0

One of my faves is so simple & great when you have just one or two or when zucchini and squash available.
Extra virgin olive oil lightly in a pan with lots of sliced onion & the sliced zucchini. Sprinkle with garlic and pepper. Cook til al dente~ Enjoy,
Best way to cook it! So simple and the flavors are awesome together.0 -
Yes, more please :bigsmile:0
