Although we didn’t host an official AK Zucchini Week this year, I’m here to remind you that I have well over 30 fun, flavorful, absolutely delicious zucchini recipes to make for any meal of the day. If you haven’t started sneaking this veggie into both sweet & savory recipes, it’s time to get to it!
In this roundup, you’ll find everything from my go-to muffins and brownies to deliciously savory burgers, pastas, meatballs, and more.
Pick up some extra zucchini from your local farmer’s market (or your own garden!) and get these delicious, healthy zucchini recipes on your table ASAP.
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 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 🙂
