My Six Favorite Zucchini Recipes

It’s zucchini season and time to make more than fried zucchini. This ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE has zucchini, half a pound of cheese, onions, mushrooms, eggs, butter and Ritz Crackers. If there is something you don’t like, leave it out.

This is the only CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE you will ever want to make! The zucchini makes this cake so moist because you do not grate the Zucchini, you blend it so there are no pieces of Zucchini in the cake. Your family will never know it’s in there.

SLICED ZUCCHINI PIZZA BITES are zucchini topped with pizza sauce, sausage, pepperoni, mushroom or whatever is your favorite topping. Add shredded mozzarella cheese to the top with fresh basil and bake in the oven.

I have made the same delicious ZUCCHINI BREAD for decades. I do not grate my zucchini, instead I blend it into a liquid. This makes the bread super moist! We used to grow our own zucchini and I made 35 loaves every year when my kids were young.

PIZZA ZUCCHINI BOATS are a complete meal that tastes like you’re having pizza night, but the healthier kind. This PIZZA ZUCCHINI BOAT is a keeper! It is not only easy, it tastes great too!

  1. These all look delicious, especially the mini pizzas and the cake. I’ve not heard of zucchini bread before, so that’s got me intrigued. Will have to get all these recipes a go!

    • Everyone is so good, I can’t even pick a favorite. The cake tastes like chocolate and the bread doesn’t taste like zucchini, more of a cinnamon flavor. It is super moist and freezes well too. Thank you Paul! 🥰

  2. I bet you’re getting lots of zucchini harvest at this time! The chocolate cake recipe looks yum. Enjoy the harvest!

    • Unfortunately my husband didn’t plant any. He cut the garden way down this year. I have my asparagus, rhubarb, blueberries and herbs. He planted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes (for me), jalapeños and poblanos (for me) and green pepper (not for me-yuck!). We have plenty of farm stands and I pick up what we don’t have anymore there.

      • Still sounds like quite the harvest you will get this year! Lots of things to enjoy in your new kitchen!

  3. Pre-internet, as a young bride, I lived in Tennessee where there was plenty of rain. I absolutely could not keep up with the zucchini in our garden. I made everything imaginable out of it. Your dishes look delicious.

    • Thank you Linda. What a nice problem to have to grow so much food. Sometimes it is hard to even give it all away. I have even peeled and blended the extra and then froze it. Then I made bread in the winter with it. My husband used to plant it every year when I made all the zucchini bread for the freezer. Then we had two years in a row where the plants grew beautifully then just died off or the zucchini rotted on the ends, we just buy it now. My husband just came home with two small ones and we are having the taco boats tonight.

  4. That’s funny as I just said in my last comment that it was time for zucchini bread. That impressive how many you made. A co-worker used to have a big garden and when the zucchini plants started producing she would make mini zucchini breads, wrap them in plastic and a ribbon around for each secretary … a few weeks later, she hauled them in and dumped them on the kitchen table with a sign “help yourself!”

    • My kids would have killed me if I gave the bread away. I made 6 loaves at a time so it went pretty quick other than the baking time. Now, I did give away zucchini.

      • Once it starts coming in fast and furiously, you can’t look at it anymore. Before the Sunday farm market came to our City, in Summer, we’d drive to the country to stock up on new potatoes, fresh beans for stew and the beefsteak tomatoes. My mom ate the tomatoes like a juicy peach, over the sink. She’d have her salt shaker with her.

  5. I’m having trouble getting used to the idea of a zucchini cake (but have heard from several people that it’s very tasty) … maybe I should try your recipe at some point!
