It’s zucchini time! Every year we get so many of these delicious vegetables.
This year they seem extra hard to get rid of, I can’t even give them away. So I had to get busy in the kitchen cooking them up. Here are 6 of my favorite zucchini recipes that I make every year.
Zucchini cobbler, honestly, it tastes like apple cobbler! Warm with ice cream it’s so yummy!
Peel and cut up about 8 cups of zucchini. If they’re large and have big seeds, I remove the seeds. Smaller zucchini have small and softer seed so you don’t need to remove them. Put in a pan with 1 cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to your taste and 3T lemon juice. I like lots of cinnamon, about 2 T. Cook until soft.
Make crumbs by combining 4 c flour and 2 c sugar, cut in 1 1/2 c cold butter, stir 1/2 c into the cooked zucchini mixture. Press about half into bottom of a 9 x 13” pan, spread zucchini over and add remaining crumbs on top. Bake @ 375 for 35-40 minutes. This freezes well for the holiday season.
Ricotta stuffed zucchini, rich and delicious! This recipe is a little different because it doesn’t use ground meat.
Cut a medium sized zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out as much as you can but still leave a sturdy shell. Sauté a medium onion in olive oil. Chop up what you scooped out and add it to the sautéed onions. Cook until liquid is gone. Cool, then add in 3/4 c ricotta cheese, 1 cup of corn kernels and 1/4 c parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper. Mound filling in zucchini and sprinkle 1/4 c parmesan on top. Bake 350 for 35 minutes.
This is really good. The corn adds just a little sweetness.
Zucchini pasta sauce, a favorite at our house. Click the following pictures to go to the recipes.
Chocolate Zucchini cake, we love this! It’s moist and gooey. So good!
Zucchini relish, it tastes just like pickle relish and makes a great little gift too.
A great zucchini bread recipes is zucchini bread with pineapple or pears.
What do you make with zucchini? Got any good casserole recipes? I really need a few new recipes because I gotta use them up!
Thanks for visiting! Debbie (((xx)))
They all look good. I did have a frosted lemon cookie that used zucchini. Trouble is I don’t have any zucchini this year. Forgot to plant some.
Well, I have had most of those but NOT the cobbler? I about popped my eyes reading that but then realized it is probably as good as the chocolate cake! And the relish is new to me, too. ummmm…we don’t have any zucchini here yet- but it should be ready in a few days- xo Diana
