Zucchini Recipes
Zucchini is a summer vegetable. Its peak season is June through late August, although if you live in a warmer climate you may be able to find in-season zucchini into September.
Because zucchini have more delicate skin, there’s no need to peel them before adding them to a recipe.
Here’s what to look for when selecting zucchini:
Smaller, thinner zucchini are more flavorful and have a better texture than thicker zucchini.
Zucchini should be vibrant green in color, with no visible nicks or cuts.Give it a gently squeeze to test its firmness (it shouldn’t be soft)
If it’s freshly picked, it will be covered in a light fuzz
You can transform zucchini into “zoodles,” or zucchini noodles by using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to make spaghetti – or lasagna-inspired zucchini noodles.
And I certainly can’t overlook my personal favorite way to enjoy zucchini — in quick breads and muffins! Shredded zucchini adds moisture to any quick bread, but you can’t taste it whatsoever in the final product.
