There is no need to get tired of the same zucchini recipes because there are so many ways to sneak this delicious vegetable into your dishes. Ranging from appetizers, main courses, and even desserts, there are so many fun and exciting ways to incorporate zucchini into your everyday meals.

With garden zucchini in abundance this time of year, there are so many ways we love to incorporate it onto our plates. I’ve compiled all of my favorite recipes into this post to help you put that summer squash to good use.

There is something for everyone- even those who may not be the biggest fan of this summer squash. If I can get my husband to love these dishes, I’m sure you can sneak them past those picky eaters too! [Pro-tip: If you skin the zucchini first to remove that darker green outer layer, you can probably get away with camouflaging it in a good number of recipes!]

Zucchini is one of my favorite summer vegetables (right up there with asparagus). As such, I have plenty of recipes in my rotation to make the best use of my garden haul!
