The Best Zucchini Recipes
(Please enjoy a glimpse into my thought life during gardening season 😉 )
Garden. Spring planting. Yay, the zucchini is coming in.
Ahhh, there’s SO much! How are we going to eat all of it?
Enter: These Best Zucchini Recipes round-up to make the most of your bountiful harvest!
It never fails, each year I end up with a HUGE harvest of zucchini and even with sharing much of it with others, I still have enough to eat every day, multiple times per day, and enough in the freezer for a year’s worth of pancakes.
“I didn’t plant enough zucchini this year.” Said no one ever. Ha!
I have said it time and time again, that one of the things I adore most about zucchini is it’s versatility.
It works wonders in both sweet and savory recipes. You can’t say that about a tomato! 😉
So if you are like me and LOVE zucchini and are always in need of a few new recipes these Best Zucchini Recipes round-up is for you!
The 10 BEST Sweet & Savory Zucchini Recipes #healthy Share on XOne Pan Lasagna with Zucchini Noodles
Oh lasagna! How I love thee. Can you believe pasta has been replaced with thin zucchini noodles? Genius! And this lasagna is packed with even more veggies and 4 different types of cheese.
Coconut Zucchini Cookies
These cookies use whole food ingredients like zucchini and coconut in 3 ways- shredded, oil, and sugar! I usually make a double batch and freeze half for later. As a special treat, I love to let the kids have 1 or 2 of them with their eggs in morning.
Oven Baked Zucchini Chips
Who doesn’t love potato chips? This “healthified” chip recipe is super easy to prepare and are super addicting!
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Oatmeal Bars
I’m pretty sure a pan of these will make your day better. Maybe don’t eat the whole pan…or do. 😉 You will want to bake this healthy snack even when zucchini is not in season!
Zucchini Recipes: Spaghetti and Meatballs
Oh yes, spaghetti and meatballs just got interesting! These meatballs are gluten-free and packed with whole food ingredients. Serve them in a marinara sauce over spaghetti noodles or strands of spaghetti squash.

Zucchini-licious Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Zucchini in pancakes? YES! Serve these with a dollop of whipped cream or a pour of syrup and you have a breakfast to remember.
Whole Food Makeovers: Sloppy Joes
Stretch a pound of meat by adding tons of veggies! One taste of this homemade sloppy joe mix and you will never buy Manwich again.
Zu-Creamy Italian Dressing
Okay, I know this seems crazy, but trust me! Lauren from Oatmeal with a Fork has created this ahhhmazing salad dressing by blending together zucchinis along with a few simple pantry ingredients. It tastes just like a creamy Italian dressing only WAY healthier!
Meatloaf
I grew up eating meatloaf, but this isn’t your mama’s recipe. Unless your mom uses onion, zucchini, flax seed, and oat flour instead of traditional bread crumbs! Did I mention the delicious sauce on top?
Chicken Parmesan Zucchini Boats
How fun is this healthy and simple “boat” recipe? Zucchini, pasta sauce, and chicken. Boom. Done. That’s how you do dinner folks! 
Pretty amazing recipes, huh? I know I’m hungry!

Thank you for this! My garden is overflowing with Zucchini ! We get a few giant sized ones every year.
The huge ones are always comical to find because you just can’t imagine how you didn’t see them! Enjoy the recipes, Anne 🙂
I love zucchini recipes. Those oatmeal bars look divine. Thanks for sharing with us at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party this week.
Yes! Those bars, seriously. YUM!
Hi Sammi! Your zucchini recipes look delicious! Especially interested in the Chocolate Chip Zucchini Oatmeal Bars! Thank you for your recipes!
Oh Barb, thank you for your kind comment 🙂 Yes, the oatmeal bars make great use of zucchini! I hope you enjoy them.
Pinned!! Oh, those cookies, though…. and the zucchini boats!! Yum. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait for some zucchini-rich friends to share with us…. but it always happens, doesn’t it?
Bahaha! Yes, it WILL happen. Patience is a virtue, right? Yes, the cookies are a staple within our home during the summer now and I agree the zucchini boats…DELISH! For some reason they kind of remind me of stuffed peppers. I still need to make them. So many recipes, so little time. LOL
I am looking forward to sauteed zucchini with kale, chard, garlic scapes and a bit of spring onion (all fresh from the garden) with soft cooked eggs on top and a bit of homemade Kimchee for spice. Hmmm…all of these items are in my fridge/garden right now, except for the zucchini….come on little babies…GROW!!!!
That sounds amazing, Sarah! I miss your Kimchee…I may need to have some soon! I never thought about having it with my veggies and eggs. YUM!
