Never enough zucchini. If I was your neighbor I would hang off your fence waiting for it. LOL. My zucchini started out beautiful but the heat came on and killed them off mid growing. I did not get to freeze any. I love it sautéed with onions and garlic with Parmesan cheese. I have a sister-in-law who made zucchini pie with pillsbury biscuits that was delicious. You can also make zucchini fries in the air fryer. You can freeze them and reheat. I made them with Parmesan cheese and almond flour (to keep carbs down as I am insulin resistant) but panko would be good to use along with some Italian seasoning.

Zuchinni fries!?! That sounds good!

And the pie too that sounds like a good way to use some zuchinni!


Lol, if you were my neighbor I'd be so happy to share with you! Years ago I had a neighbor who would come till up a big garden spot for me each year when he did his. I'd always plant the whole thing (way too much food for just me!) so he'd come over and pick whatever he found, he'd bring me goodies he'd raised too, we often had different veggies planted. He'd also take any excess and put together produce bags for anyone he knew was on a hard time. He was a wonderful old man.

What a great neighbor! The pie is great as you get to use the zucchini and your hens eggs. If you search for Pillsbury zucchini pie you will find multiple recipes. Same for air fryer zucchini fries.

My mom does it raw on salads, I haven't done that myself yet.

My mother in law dipped some in egg and flour and friend it last year, really good, but... greasy and heavy on a hot day

Yeah, I don't fry much of anything. Too hot and too wasteful all the way around. But, you could probably put it in an air fryer if you have one which is basically a mini convection oven.
I have eaten it raw on salads as well.

Also, you can de-seed and chunk up zucchini and can it in pineapple juice for mock pineapple. You can do that for mock apple pie filling also.

Zuchinni flour how do you use that?

I do need to grate some ans freeze it, winter stashes for zuchinni bread then are great.

Zoodles, ooh, another good idea.

Our dog is super picky, I know the chickens like zuchinni they are so helpful.

You can substitute zucchini powder for 1/3 of regular flour without any change except a slight green tint. It works really well!

I made Kolokithopita with zucchini too. Delicious. It is also called Greek Zucchini pie but you use phyllo dough and feta. Zucchini fritters too. Pickled zucchini if you want to preserve it.

I'm really interested to try this!
