    More ideas for using zucchini

    1. Shred & freeze it. You can either measure shredded zucchini into the correct proportions for zucchini bread, or use the equivalent of one zucchini per bag. Flatten the bags and freeze on a cookie sheet, then remove the cookie sheet when zucchini is frozen. Shredded zucchini can be added to spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, vegetable soup, and more.
    2. Freeze zucchini bread. Prepare the recipe as directed, wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze. Zucchini Bread makes a great hostess gift, housewarming gift, or holiday gift for neighbors and friends.
    3. Deep-fry it. Zucchini is a delicious addition to vegetable tempura.
    4. Sauté in butter. Sauté sliced zucchini alone or with yellow squash and/or onion for a delicious and easy side dish. Sautéed zucchini can be frozen after cooking and thawed and heated for a quick and easy side dish.
    5. Stir-fry it. Sliced zucchini works well in any kind of stir-fry.
    6. Grill it. Zucchini makes a great addition to vegetable kabobs and grilled veggies.
