A roundup of all my favorite zucchini recipes for this summer and all year long! Don’t miss these unbelievably good ways to eat zucchini!
Hi Friends! Today I’m sharing 10 unbelievably good ways to eat zucchini. Zucchini season is here to stay and I’m so excited because I can find them as big as my head at the Farmer’s Market! I love Zucchini, it’s such a versatile vegetable. Mild in taste and naturally creamy in texture, it’s an easy vegetable to sneak into so many different types of recipes. Zucchini is a rich source of important antioxidants like Vitamin C and carotenoids. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two types of carotenoids found in summer squash that help support eye health. Summer squash also provides a B-vitamin bunch which is important for energy and metabolism. Don’t forget about fiber which helps regulate blood sugar and keep you full!

pinned! must try that fritatta!
This looks so good!! I am currently loving zucchini noodles, and have also been sauteeing zucchini to throw into omelettes. Yum.
Oooooooohhhhhh LOVE zucchini in my omelets! I really want a spiralizer! Do you like yours?
My favorite way is using a spiralizer to make noodles out of zucchini, then just sauteing them with a little bit of olive oil and garlic!
That sounds delicious! I don’t have a spiralizer but I do the same thing just chop them and add some shrimp with cherry tomatoes!
I need to step up my zucchini game. I’ve actually never baked with it before despite all the wonderful recipes! I’d love to get a spiralizer just for zucchini, too.
Great ideas! Grilled zucchini is my favorite!
me too! It’s the best, so versatile!
I used to love to sautee or grill it and then put in in sandwiches!
YUUUUUMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Yum! I love zucchini any which way, but my faves are probably as noodles or grilled. I also like baking with them as a way to get the fam eating more veggies.
