Easy Zucchini Recipes – 5+ Ways to Use Zucchini in Recipes

There are so many easy zucchini recipes to make!  If you garden, eat gluten free or just LOVE zucchini then you might be looking for new ways to use zucchini in your everyday recipes.

Our first year gardening we quickly realized while growing zucchini it is one of the crops that just produces in abundance.  This is great, but no matter how much you LOVE zucchini, it can get boring eating it the same way every day.

So, we came up with some easy zucchini recipes

1. Zucchini Noodles

Are you gluten free and missing your noodles?  You can use a mandolin slicer to cut your zucchini into noodles.  Then cook the noodles up in a pan on the stove in a little oil and any spices you like.  We like to add a little garlic and oregano.

2. Zucchini Noodle & Beef Casserole

If you want to do a little something more with your zucchini noodles than just use them as a side dish, you can try them out in a cheesy beef casserole.

3. Zucchini Chips

 You can slice up your zucchini into round chips and use them in place of regular chips.  We really love to use zucchini chips to make zucchini nachos.  They are easy to make, delicious and they re-heat really well if you want to make enough and freeze zucchini for a few meals all at once.

4. Zucchini Lasagna

You will be shocked how close this is to a standard lasagna recipe. For this easy zucchini recipe, you can either use zucchini chips or you can make long sliced noodles (slicing the entire length of the zucchini, so that they resemble real lasagna noodles).  You can then add your normal lasagna toppings as you like.

5. Zucchini Pizza

For this, you will simply slice your zucchini in half.  You can then put it on the grill and grill it until it is soft.  Then top it with your favorite pizza toppings.  We love to do chicken, pesto and mozzarella.

6. Zucchini Bread

Make yourself a wonderfully sweet treat. This zucchini bread recipe, along with our banana bread and pumpkin bread recipes, is one of our favorite things to make.

The best part is you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry staples. You can take the pantry challenge to find out.
