Zucchini recipes?

If you get some more and they are a bit smaller, I really like this recipe:

I cut the zucchini up in half moons, and add some yellow squash to the mixture, then I spray the whole thing with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder on them. Then I either saute them in a pan until they're soft, or I pop them in the oven for about 10 mins on broil. Zucchini and squash are amazing and good for you. Hope this helps!

My mom just made us a zucchini gratin last night that was really tasty and super easy:

Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and layer them in a small casserole dish, top with a layer of grape tomatoes cut into halves or quarters, drizzle a little olive oil on top, sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese, and some salt and pepper if you like.

She just covered it with plastic wrap and threw it in the microwave and it was great, but I bet it would be better if you cooked it in the oven so the cheese could brown a little.

Very simple, but I like to strip them with a veggie peeler to make ribbons, quick dunk in boiling water and lots of seasoning - lean and delicious!

Just cut a zucchini in half lengthwise and trim a little off the bottom so it sit still in a baking dish*** Scoop out the center where the seeds are with a spoon*** Brush the surface with a mixture of crushed garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper*** Arrange halved grape tomatoes into the grooves, sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes*** Remove and place diced fontina or mozzarella in between the tomatoes, place them back in, but now under the broiler til golden and bubbling***Remove and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of grated parmesan. You will love this as a side dish!

The"big" zucchini are fine for stir fry and sautee etc...just cut the seeds out. They work fine.
I made zucchini "chips" this weekend. Slice the zuke super thin..place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray the paper lightly with cooking spray. place the zuke slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Mix up your favorite spices and sprinkle over the zukes that have been sprayed lightly with cooking oil.

I used garlic salt, basil, oregano, and onion powde on mine. You can use anything...just use a little less then you would think because they will shrink as they bake and you don't want the seasoning to be too strong.

The directions said to bake them at 225 degrees for 45 min...then rotate pan and bake another 30 min...I found this didn't work well. I think the temp needed to be a bit higher...like 275 degree. Watch them and when they start to look a bit golden brown take them out and let them cool a few minutes! Super yummy.
Also, cut it in long spears and grill it! It works better on the grill if it is cut into spears!

I brush a little olive oil, with salt and pepper, than I make a combo of wheat bread crumbs and parm cheese and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Super yummy, just like fried zuccinni with a lot less fat and calories!!

I have also sauted onion, spinach, and zuccinni with egg for a yummy veggie scramble.

AGREED with the first recipe idea! That's my favorite way to eat it!

when we move, I plan to have a veggie garden (even tho zucchini has seeds, so isn't a "veggie"), so I will probably be eating a lot of zucchini! these sound GREAT
