My zucchini plant has gone crazy! I've gotten 8 zucchinis off it already and it's the beginning of July. I gave some away but as I'm trying really hard not to make a zucchini cake, I need some ideas. We grilled some but I was the only one that really liked it. So what's your favorite way to use up zucchini? Thanks!!

mine came from my roommate. I think she bought it online. but you could try bed bath beyond.. they have tons of kitchen gadget. I remember the box it came in had chinese characters.. so maybe an asian store?0 -
Does your family like spicy food? I liked it cooked years ago in the oven with some cayenne pepper but you cant use a lot its very potent. I love roasted veggies, especially asparagus. You could try to find some recipes for roasting it?0

One of my favorite things to do with zucchini is slice it or dice it, and toss it with squash, onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, and turkey kielbasa or chicken sausage, add some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, and cook it in the oven at 400 degrees for about a half hour, stirring once or twice. It is soooooooooo good. And healthy!0

You could make oven baked zucchini sticks with dill-ranch dip.
To make the zucchini sticks, first preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Next, slice two zucchinis length wise, and then slice both halves in half horizontally. Then, quarter each quarter vertically to make sticks. Next, get two medium sized shallow bowls. Fill one bowl with three beaten egg whites. Fill the other bowl with a half of a cup of flour, three tablespoons of corn meal, salt, and pepper. Dip each stick in the egg whites, and then completely covered them in the flour and cornmeal mixture. Place the uncooked zucchini sticks on a baking sheet, and bake them for 15 minutes.
To make the dill-ranch dip, get a medium-sized mixing bowl. Combine half of an 8oz container of light sour cream, a tablespoon of dried dill weed, a half of a tablespoon of seasoned salt, a teaspoon of onion powder, and a teaspoon of pepper.
Enjoy!0 -

made several batches last weekend to put in the freezer, really quite tasty. Just remember to squeeze out any excess water from the zucchini if its sits too long after grating it

I use zucchini in place of pasta. I make large ribbons out of it with a peeler (skin and all). Or, Ill take my titan tools and make faux noodles out of it.
I also use the ribbons for making lasagna as well.0 -
I shred zucchini and saute with onions and garlic. After it is tender, drain off any extra liquid and melt some velvetta over it.
I don't know the calorie count but it is very low in carbs.

If it's a large Zucchini try Stuffing it!
Cut the Zucchinin in half lengthwise.. then scoop out the center to make a hallow place for your stuffing.
Take what was scooped out and place it into a bowl- you will use it!
Brown up some Ground Turkey, Onions, Garlic and any seasonings you'd like.. Add some Diced Tomatoes and their Juice (canned)
You could do any kind of Canned Tomato Really.. Then add in the Scooped out Zucchini!
Mix all this together and then fill each side of the Zucchini- Bake for 40 mins or so covered with Foil.
You could also add some cooked Rice to the "stuffing mix"0 -

This is my daughter's favorite veggie. A staple in our house. I usually just saute them with olive or canola oil, onions, peppers and mushrooms. Sometimes I will sprinkle Mrs. Dash just to flavor it once in a while.0
