Ways to use Zucchini
If you haven’t started seeing it already just get ready because it’s coming! If you were wondering what I am talking about, that would be the zucchini flood from your garden. If you have more than a couple of these plants in your garden you will likely be wondering how in the world you are going to use it all up besides leaving them on your neighbors doorstep and running! One thing is for sure and that’s that there is always some fun and delicious ways to use zucchini from your garden.
Here are a few of my favorite Ways to use zucchini:
- Cut them up and serve them in salads or on vegetable trays with dip.
- Sauté them in olive oil and add in your favorite spices: This makes a delicious side to any summer meal.
- Freeze it: Many people don’t realize that you can freeze zucchini. It’s very simple to do and you can use it later in soups, breads, kabobs, stir-fry and much more. Check out this great tutorial on how to freeze zucchini.
