11 Things To Do With Those Extra Zucchini

Zucchini is everywhere this time of year, so even if you don’t grow it in your own garden, your friend or neighbor probably does. You can get zucchini for low or no cost from family and friends or even at your local farmer’s market this time of year.

What can you do with all that zucchini?

1. Freeze it for later. I shred my zucchini, then freeze it in containers already measured out for my favorite recipes.
2. Make zucchini bread or muffins.
3. My sister gave me a recipe last year for a zucchini cobbler last year that’s fabulous!
4. One of my favorite things to make with zucchini is chocolate zucchini cake, yum!
5. Fry it up for dinner, you can substitute zucchini for the yellow squash in this fried squash recipe.
6. Make zucchini cookies with a lemon glaze icing? Yum!
7. How about a zucchini pie? Sounds wonderful with a little vanilla ice cream!
8. Use zucchini for a pasta replacement.
9. I love to slice them thin, spread a little olive oil on them and grill them.
10. Make zucchini and basil soup, I’m going to give this one a try since I have plenty of both zucchini, and basil.
11. Make corn and zucchini tacos

How do you use up all the extra zucchini this time of year?
