If you planted zucchini this year, you already know… there is no such thing as one zucchini. 😂
One day you have a tiny plant, and the next you’re wondering how you’re going to use 14 zucchinis before they take over the kitchen.
A few ideas for your summer zucchini surplus:
🥒 Zucchini bread or muffins
🥒 Grilled zucchini with olive oil, garlic and herbs
🥒 Zucchini fritters with a little parmesan
🥒 Zucchini noodles for a lighter pasta alternative
🥒 Stuffed zucchini boats with meat, rice or veggies
🥒 Add it to pasta sauce for an easy way to use several at once
🥒 Zucchini pizza with fresh mozzarella and herbs
🥒 Freeze grated zucchini to use in baking later
🥒 Make zucchini soup and freeze it for a future meal
🥒 Give some away! Your neighbours may be very happy to help with the surplus.
And if all else fails, leave a basket of zucchini on the front porch with a “Please take one” sign. It’s basically an August tradition. 🆓
