Stephanie Gallagher

These zucchini recipes range from the sweet to the savory. But whether you're craving chocolate zucchini bread or lightly sauteed zucchini over polenta, you'll find easy zucchini recipes here to satisfy your taste buds.

Chocolate Zucchini Bread
This chocolate zucchini bread recipe tastes almost like a cake, but it is surprisingly healthy, thanks to whole wheat flour and shredded apples.

Grilled Vegetables
Fresh zucchini is marinated in Italian salad dressing then grilled in this super easy side dish recipe.

Healthy Zucchini Bread
Canned pumpkin adds moisture and vitamins to this healthy zucchini recipe, while also cutting the fat. Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients as well. But you'd never know this zucchini bread is healthy. It tastes too good!

Oven Fried Zucchini
Panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese give this fried zucchini recipe great texture and flavor. But it is far lower in fat than most fried zucchini recipes, because it is baked in the oven.

Polenta with Zucchini
Refrigerated polenta is lightly sauteed, then topped with zucchini and Parmesan cheese in this tasty zucchini side dish recipe.

Ratatouille
This ratatouille recipe is a simplified version of Thomas Keller's recipe. Fresh zucchini slices are layered over a tomato and pepper mixture that takes advantage of summer's best seasonal vegetables.

Sauteed Zucchini Recipe
This simple zucchini side dish makes a great addition to just about any meal. Use fresh grated Parmesan cheese if you have it. It really adds terrific flavor.

Lemon zest makes this zucchini bread recipe taste fresh and light. Pumpkin pie spice makes it smell wonderful as it's baking.

Zucchini Bread with Walnuts
A hint of orange juice adds moisture and flavor to this walnut-studded zucchini bread recipe.

Zucchini Bread Sandwiches
Cream cheese is spread over slices of homemade zucchini bread in these tasty zucchini bread sandwiches. Serve them for lunch, afternoon tea or a light snack.

Zucchini Corn Chowder
Zucchini, sweet bell peppers and fresh corn make this corn chowder taste fresh. Cheddar cheese adds creaminess to this yummy corn chowder recipe.

Zucchini Lasagna
This vegetable lasagna recipe is made with zucchini, yellow squash and carrots. I like to shred the vegetables when I'm serving this zucchini lasagna to kids.

Zucchini Pancakes
These zucchini pancakes are similar to potato pancakes. Made with shredded zucchini, parmesan cheese and scallions, these zucchini pancakes are lightly pan-fried and go well with a tomato or apricot dipping sauce.

Zucchini Salad
Zucchini is shaved lengthwise, then tossed with lemon juice, red onion, olive oil, and parmesan cheese in this fresh and flavorful zucchini salad recipe.
