What to do with all that zucchini 🥒

Published 19 days ago • 1 min read

Hey there,

I love a good loaf of zucchini bread as much as anyone, but there's only so much of it a person can make before the squash starts winning.

When the garden hits that overflowing point in July, it helps to have a few savory ideas too. Here's where I turn when the counter is covered.

3 INGREDIENTS

Roasted Yellow Squash

Three ingredients and ten minutes of prep, and it crisps right up in the oven. It works just as well with zucchini if that's what you've got.

CHEESY & EASY

Zucchini Pie

If you're in full zucchini overload, this cheesy Bisquick pie is one of the best ways to put a big batch to use.

CREAMY CLASSIC

Southern Squash Casserole

Creamy, family-friendly, and finished with a buttery cracker topping. It's a classic for a reason.

CHEESY SIDE

Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole

Cheesy and simple, and it pairs with just about any dinner you put on the table.

CINNAMON-SUGAR

Zucchini Bread Muffins

Moist and fluffy with cinnamon-sugar tops, made in one bowl. The easiest way to use up the sweet side of your harvest.

20+ RECIPES

Easy Summer Squash Recipes

If your counter is covered in squash right now, start here. This collection rounds up every way we like to use it, from quick sides to full dinners to sweet bakes.

→ Quick Tip: Summer squash holds a lot of water, which can leave a casserole or a sauté soggy. Toss the sliced squash with a little salt, let it sit for ten minutes, then pat it dry before it goes in the pan. It makes a real difference.

Hope you're enjoying the garden,
