Zucchini Recipes

While my garden didn't actually produce any zucchini this year, I know lots of gardens did produce zucchini in abundance. What is your favorite soup, casserole, side dish and/or dessert recipe that uses zucchini? Click here for a FABULOUS Zucchini brownie recipe posted by my friend Melanie.

  3. Slice the zucchini into circles, baste with butter, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a little italian seasoning. Broil on medium heat for 10 minutes. Delicious!

  4. Zucchini Crisp
    8 cups fo zucchini, cut like an apple
    3/4 cup lemon juice
    1 tsp nutmeg
    2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/2 cup sugar

    TOPPING
    1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
    1 cup flour
    1 cup rolled oats
    2/3 cup butter, softened
    whipped cream, or ice cream optional

    Place zuch and lemon juice in a saucepan, Cover and cook over medium heat, stir occasionally, until zuch it tender, about 15 min. Add nutmeg, cinnamon, and sugar, blend until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan.
    For topping combine oats, brown sugar, flour and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over zuch. Bake @ 375 for 50 min. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

    I wish I had read the all the directions. I cooked the zuch with water adn lemon juice, then drained it then followed the directions as written, I got the recipe for "Taste of Home", but my sister made it before me. Its yummy, its like Faux Apple Crisp
