Eight Great Zucchini Recipes

Sharing is caring!

Zucchini, zucchini everywhere! One of the most versatile members of the squash family is in full season right now and there is so much you can do with it. We Brits call zucchini “courgette”, so it took me a while to figure out what zucchini was.

Zucchini is a versatile and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in many ways. Zucchini is low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants. It can help you lose weight, boost your immune system, and lower your blood pressure. Zucchini can also add texture, flavor, and moisture to your dishes.
