Vegetables ingredient guide
Zucchini Recipes
Zucchini is a mild, tender summer squash that works in everything from quick skillet dinners and grilled vegetable platters to fritters, casseroles, soups, and pasta recipes. Its light flavor makes it easy to pair with herbs, cheeses, tomatoes, garlic, and lean proteins.
Because zucchini contains a lot of moisture, the best recipes often use high heat, salting, or squeezing to concentrate its flavor and prevent sogginess. Slice it for roasting, spiralize it into noodles, grate it for breads and pancakes, or dice it into soups and sauces.
Choose firm zucchini with smooth, glossy skin and avoid squash that feels soft, wrinkled, or overly large. Small to medium zucchini usually have the best texture and fewer seeds, making them ideal for everyday cooking.
