Despite the fact that I’ve cut back on my garden I am still growing a healthy crop of zucchini! I love zucchini and I always grow more than I need.When I have n abundance of zucchini here are a few ways I use it up.
As a Main Coarse:
Zucchini and Parmesan Crusted Chicken
This recipe has been adapted from a recipe I tried using HelloFresh. Although the original recipe was good I felt it needed a little something more so I added some minced garlic! Why have I never thought of topping a chicken breast with shredded zucchini? It keeps the chicken moist and tender while it is cooking. The addition of garlic and Parmesan gives a delicious flavor to the mix.
I love using my spiralizer to create vegetable noodles. I use the noodles in all sorts of ways. Sometimes I use vegetable noodles in place of pasta when serving spaghetti and meatballs. I’ve recently been experimenting to create a Fettuccine Alfredo using zucchini noodles and a light sauce. This extra light Alfredo sauce for pasta gets its silkiness from fresh ricotta and grated Parmesan cheese. I think it’s a winner! Perfect all by itself of serve as a side dish with grilled steak.
A friend I worked with shared this recipe with me years ago. I have made it every summer since then and we still enjoy it! You can serve it as a complete dinner along with a salad or use it as a side dish.

Preserving
This is a new recipe for me this year! Serve this delicious salsa with tortilla chips or try it on top of grilled chicken breasts or fish. It’s got just the right amount of zip!
The same friend that shared her chocolate zucchini cake recipe also gave me this wonderful relish recipe. I don’t even buy relish any more as this is the family favorite. Making this relish is a two-day affair so be sure to plan accordingly.
As a Dessert
This recipe is especially good if you have some oversized zucchini that need to be used up. A friend of mine shared this recipe with me years ago and we’ve been enjoying it ever since.
Wondering what to do with your zucchini? Hopefully these recipes will give you a few ideas! Are you a zucchini lover? What is your favorite recipe?

Have made and canned zucchini relish and you are so right; it’s delicious and sure does beat the store bought relish.
I also love eating zucchini baked French fries.

Linnea,
I often interchange summer squash and zucchini. My mother-in-law makes a great casserole with summer squash, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, top with some bread crumbs and bake, can top with a little cheese as well. 🙂
