In this roundup you’ll find everything from my go-to muffins and brownies to deliciously savory burgers, pastas, meatballs and more.

Reasons to cook & bake with zucchini
As you can probably guess, zucchini is one of my absolute fav veggies to cook and bake with because:
- It adds a boost of fiber & vitamin C to any recipe
- It can take on any flavors of spices you’re working with
- It adds the perfect amount of moisture to every recipe, which means you likely won’t need extra oil or butter in the recipes!
Tips for baking with zucchini
- Use the small side of your grater so that you get little shreds of zucchini.
- Squeeze out your zucchini shreds as much as possible to get all of the excess liquid out.
- Measure the shreds before you squeeze the moisture out.
- Feel free to shred a bunch of zucchini and freeze it for later! Follow my tips and tricks here.

I had an abundance of zucchini in the garden, and I learned to cook the flowers from the zucchini just rince them slightly, dry them with a paper towel and slice them up and use it for a delicious zucchini soup.Thanks for sharing us your post

Zucchini is another one of my favorites too! I love it in both sweet and savory recipes. Here you have pizza, cake, brownies, pancakes, quesadillas, waffles, noodles, and muffins?! I haven’t seen a more creative compilation of zucchini-oriented dishes! Don’t know where to start—but I want to!

I’m so glad! Great way to plan out your grocery list too 😉 And YES hope you love those waffles.
I was literally just thinking this morning what I should make with the remaining 2 zucchini I have in my fridge form my garden. Perfect timing! I’ve tried so many of these baked goods recipes before, but it’s been awhile…need to make some of them again! 🙂
Amazing! Hope you found some new favorites 🙂

I think all of these look scrumptious but my favorites will be the entrees, I’m pretty sure! The first on my to-do list will be the pizza and the enchilada bake. Yum!
Perfect for dinner! Enjoy 🙂
