Today is Sneak a Zucchini on Your Neighbor’s Porch Day, and this year, I’m seeing more than ever how necessary such a holiday is. Our garden is officially in zucchini overload mode, so I thought I’d assemble a big ol’ list of things to make with zucchini for myself – and my poor unwitting neighbors too. Let’s hope they don’t have video surveillance.
Zucchini – also known as courgette or summer squash – isn’t only wonderfully nutritious, it’s also endlessly versatile. Everyone loves zucchini bread, but there are a gazillion other things to make with zucchini. Crispy chips and fries! Zoodles! Pizza crust! Cookies and cupcakes! Are you, too, looking for what you can do with zucchini (that isn’t bread)? Read on for 75 delicious zucchini recipes (that aren’t zucchini bread).
