    I steamed it with some bell peppers (cut them both into french fry like pieces), and then topped it with nutritional yeast flakes (you can use grated cheese or garlic salt for a similar flavor, if you want) and it was phenomenal.
    I've never been a fan of frying vegetables.. roasting (without oil, or using oil spray) and steaming are the only ways I eat my veggies. So scrumptious!

    I cook it on the George Foreman with a little olive oil, or roast it, or put it into or under pasta sauce. I like it with sliced mushrooms in pasta sauce.

    Slice it up into quarter inch thick slices and add to noodles and marinara.
    Cut it in half lengthwise, and then again width wise. Score the flat sides with a fork. Mix some minced garlic and parsley into olive oil, melted margarine, or butter and lightly brush over scored zucchini. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired. Grill or place under a broiler for 5-20 minutes (keep an eye on it) until lightly browned. I love making this for company, it tastes so much more complicated than it is.
    Cut it up into chunks along with cailuflower, carrots, broccoli, onion, garlic cloves, really whatever other veggies you desire, spray lightly with olive oil, and fold into a sealed foil packet. Throw it on the grill for 15 minutes and enjoy.
    Add it to a stirfry. Make it into bread. So many options!!

    Just the other day I cut yellow and green zucchini into chunks, along with bell peppers and mushrooms. I threaded them onto kabobs and marinated in some evoo, garlic, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper then grilled. So good! Sometimes I just slice thick and brush with evoo and s&p and grill. I have shredded zucchini and added it to meatloaf and meatballs. I recently made zucchini pancakes(shred and mix with egg, flour, and seasonings and pan fry). I recently ate a salad at a restaurant that had matchstick sized zucchini in it. I am trying to figure out how to get them that size so I can duplicate it. It's good sauteed with other veggies like onions and peppers. You can also roast it. When I used to eat pasta, I would roast up a bunch of veggies and then add it to pasta with some of the pasta water and parmesan cheese. That was yummy. Zucchini is very versatile!

    these tots are really good, I used 2% cheese and egg beaters to reduce the calories/fat.

    also these:

    I used splenda instead of sugar and egg beaters instead of eggs. Left the oil in though. Yum-o!!!

    i slice zucchini, yellow squash, and red onions and then toss them in 1/4 cup olive oil and 2 TBSP balsamic vinaigrette. Then I spread them on a cookie sheet and bake in a 425 degree oven between 35-45 minutes, depending on how crispy you like it. very tasty!

    Sounds Yummy! had this mixture with sliced carrot as well at a french bistro in a sandwich with fresh mozzerella cheese.

    Zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, and red onions. Toss them in a little bit of olive oil and season them and then roast them in the oven or on the grill. Delicious :)
