One of my friends brought me two HUUUUUUGE zucchini's today. I love zucchini but would really like some new ideas on what exactly I should do with them....

    Cut them into spears and throw them on the grill with lemon juice, fresh garlic, and copious amounts of black pepper and rosemary.

    Throw them on skewers with steak or chicken, then throw them on the grill. MMMMM.

    cut them and grill them, slice them raw and eat with hummus or other dip, grill or saute them and mix with other veggies for a veggie wrap, veggie pizza, or mix with a pasta-they are delicious in pasta dishes or red sauce dishes.

    WE love them in spaghetti sauce too. As well as grilled, sauted and baked. There's a pinterest pin for making zucchinni chips, also. Seems pretty easy, just slice them thin and bake at 200*.

    Dice one up, put the chunks in a colander and salt to draw out the liquid. Then make a quick vinaigrette and slice cherry tomatoes in half. Mix it all together, and you've got an awesome summer salad.

    Found this receipe a couple of days ago on here and it sounds amazing!!!

    Zucchini, include skin, raw, 1 cup, chopped
    Onions - Raw, 1/4 cup, chopped
    Parmesean Cheese Grated - 1/4 cup
    Panko Bread Crumbs- 1/4 cup
    Eggs - Whole, raw, 1 large

    I put the onion and zucchini in the food processor so it's finely chopped. Mix everything together. Spoon by the teaspoonful into mini muffin tin (GREASED) Pat down with back of spoon. 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until you notice them getting a beautiful brown crust on the edges. Makes 12 tots per tin.

    I like them on the grill, steamed, or even tossed with olive oil and baked. Add whatever seasonings you like

    If they are really huge then they will have a lot of seeds. I take my grator and grate them,only down to where the seeds get really big, then freeze in freezer baggies about 2 cups worth, for zucchini bread in the middle of winter. I have used my larger zucchini like this for the past 20+ years. I only use the smaller ones to grill and eat raw.

    Good Luck

    Try making Zucchini bread with whole wheat flour: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/whole-wheat-zucchini-bread/ - I used all whole wheat flour instead of some white and added 2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp baking soda to make up for the lack of regular flour - it turned out great!

    I love them in anything Italian.... if there are tomatoes, I want zucchini! I make whole wheat pasta with chicken sausage, onions, peppers and zucchini! Cut them in long thin slices and use them in place of lasagna noodles for lasagna. If you have a mandolin you can also cut zucchini into a pasta like noodle to use in place of pasta too.

    ZUCCHINI FRIES!!!!! my husband can not get enough of these. cut them into spears, cut out the seeds. dip them in egg beaters and roll them in panko crumbs, parm cheese, bread crumbs, etc. Our grocery store has a Parm Herb Blend Panko crumbs that I use. Bake at 425 for 30-40 mins.

    Grilled! I can eat a ton of grilled squash. Grill up some vadalia onions with it. Drizzle with balsamic or squeeze some lemon juice with S&P.

    Quinoa..... I sautee up veggies and mix in with some quinoa.

    I made a veggie gratin one night with slices of onions, squash and tomatoes..... sprinkle a little bread crumbs and parm cheese and bake.
