Zucchini is having its moment, and we’re here for it. Versatile, abundant, and totally underrated, this summer squash is a star in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Here’s why we love it:
- It’s easy to cook and plays well with just about everything.
- It’s mild, tender, and soaks up flavours like a champ.
- You can grill it, sauté it, spiralize it, bake it, even turn it into dessert!

- Zucchini noodles with pesto and cherry tomatoes
- Zucchini lasagna (layered with ricotta and fresh tomato sauce…chef’s kiss!)
- Chocolate zucchini muffins: rich, moist, and veggie-filled in the best way
Featured Recipe: Cheesy Zucchini Fritters
A perfect snack, side dish, or even breakfast!
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis, grated
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or cheddar
2 green onions, chopped
Pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
Place grated zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a bowl, mix the zucchini with egg, flour, cheese, onions, and pepper.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture and flatten slightly. Cook 3–4 mins per side until golden brown.
