30 Zucchini Recipes | Food Bloggers of Canada

If you're a gardener then you know there's two harvesting seasons: zucchini season and then everything else! We joke of course but zucchinis can be a very prolific squash when they get going!

Fortunately, they're also incredibly delicious and versatile! Zucchini have a very mild flavour which means that they go with almost anything and they're easy to add to a wide range of dishes to pack in some extra veggie servings.

They're great in stews and sauces. They make cakes, cookies, brownies and breads extra moist. They can make an easy low carb swap for noodles and pastas. Pair them up with other seasonal produce to make fritters and crispy bites. Use them as a pizza topping, bake them with cheese, the list is only limited by your imagination!

Zucchinis come in yellow and green varieties and pairing them together can make for a colourful dish, especially tossed with some other colourful veggies. You can eat zucchini raw or cooked.

And, if you've got more zucchini than you really know what to do with, grate it up and freeze it in 2 cup serving sizes, which is what most recipes will call for.  That way you'll always have some in the freezer for a quick and easy side dish or as the beginnings of a tasty weeknight meal.

But if you need help staying inspired, here's 30 zucchini recipe ideas - they'll get you through a whole month's worth of summer's most prolific squash!
