Zucchini Recipes

I've been making zuccini fries:

cut then in half lengthwise and then half again so their shaped like fries.

coat with a little olive oil or spray with cooking oil like Pam.

then roll in seasoned bread crumbs and place on baking sheet.

I spray them again lightly.

place in hot oven, 415 or so, until brown, as you like them. takes maybe 10-15 minutes.

Sounds good! Will you post that recipe please :flowerforyou:

I slice it thin and use it in lasagna in place of the noodles. Yummy- Cindy

Hi, I take the zuchini and slice it in thins strips lengthwise. I bake the zuchini in a 300 degree oven for about 30 minutes give or take to help get the water out of it so I don't have watery sauce. I brown 1 lb. of ground turkey with a little bit of italian seasoning added in. I use fat free riccota and fat free cottage cheese mixed together I also use low fat mozzerella. I saute mushrooms,onions,garlic and layer everything like regular lasagna. I use whatever pasta sauce is on sale. The calories are low for a huge chunk. I don't know the nutritional facts off hand. I figure it out according to what I've added. Enjoy- :flowerforyou: Cindy

I just made this last night and am having it for lunch today!

1 Large Zucchini sliced THICK
1 Large can of Diced Tomatos (I will use fresh from the garden once they are ready!)
2 Chicken Breasts, boiled, then sliced thin. (When boiling, I add garlic and pepper - seasons the chicken)
Jalapenos, chilis, red peppers, anything else really that you would like...

Place the zucchini in a glass baking dish, place chicken on/around zucchini, pour in the tomatoes and peppers, season to taste, sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese (can be omitted) and bake at 400 for about 45 minutes.

it! :bigsmile:


I can't wait to go back and read everyone else's! Thanks guys!

I slice it and put it under the broiler with a little olive oil and garlic, or parmigiana.

Try using a vegetable peeler to slice it and put in a pot of boiling water, replace it as noodles in pasta dishes.

Slice it and saute, then pour eggs over to make scrambled eggs with zucchini.

I discovered this last year when someone gave me a lot of zucchini and it's my absolute favorite recipe using this vegetable! I found it on Recipe Zaar.

1 egg, mixed with
2 tablespoons milk
1 clove smashed garlic
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1Preheat oven to 450°.
2Combine egg, milk and garlic in a shallow dish and set aside for about 15 minutes to let flavors combine.
3Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley and pepper in another shallow dish.
4Dip zucchini slices into egg mixture, then into crumbs and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
5Bake for 10 minutes, then turn over and bake for 5 minutes more or until brown and crispy.
