]]>Grilled Zucchini
Step out into the backyard and fire up the grill for a zucchini grilling adventure. Slice the zucchini into planks, brush them with olive oil, sprinkle some seasonings, and let them sizzle on the grill. The smoky char adds a unique flavor profile that pairs perfectly with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Zucchini Fritters
Transform zucchini into scrumptious fritters that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Grate the zucchini, squeeze out the excess moisture, mix it with a handful of breadcumbs, herbs, and spices, then pan-fry them until golden brown. Serve these delightful fritters with a dollop of creamy sauce for an irresistible treat.
Zucchini Noodles
For a lighter and healthier twist, embrace the trend of zucchini noodles, also known as “zoodles.” Use a spiralizer or a julienne peeler to transform zucchini into long, noodle-like strands. Sautee them quickly with some garlic and olive oil, and you’ll have a low-carb, veggie-packed alternative to traditional pasta.

]]>Air Fryer Zucchini
If you have an air fryer but aren’t sure what to make inside it, cooking zucchini is a good place to start. You’ll put minimal effort into this dish and still get the most delicious and healthy zucchini.
Cheesy Zucchini Lasagna
Cheese and zucchinis are a match made in heaven, and what better way to mix them up together than making lasagna? Clarke used several types of cheese to take this dish to the next level, including cottage cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
Zucchini Pizza Boats
Clarke enjoys putting a twist on Italian classics by adding some zucchini to the mix and she filled her zucchini boats with classic pizza ingredients this time around.
Zucchini Carrot Oatmeal Muffins
If you’ve never used zucchini in baking before, now’s the time to give it a shot! You can use zucchinis to take all sorts of tasty desserts to another level, including muffins. These ones were made with a long list of healthy ingredients, including zucchini, carrots, and oatmeal.

]]>Zucchini Prep
If you think you can make and fry fritters right after grating your zucchini, think again. Zucchinis have an extremely high water content, so it’s crucial to salt them and let them rest for some time so they could release excess water before you cook them.
Air Fried Fritters
Making zucchini fritters in an air fryer is a no-brainer if you have one at home. Deep frying them can destroy some of the healthy properties of the zucchini, so it’s a good idea to prepare them in an air fryer because they’ll be perfectly crispy and healthy at the same time.
Perfect Temperature
In case you don’t have an air fryer and have to prepare your zucchini fritters in a skillet, keep in mind that oil temperature makes all the difference. Sticking to 350F degrees is usually the best option because your fritters will be delicious and crispy without burning down.

- Start by grating up 1 large zucchini with a box grater on top of a clean dishcloth. This will make the next step a lot easier.
- Once the zucchini has been grated, take it to the sink and squeeze out as much of the water as possible. You can also use cheesecloth for this process.
- After you’ve extracted as much water from the zucchini as possible, leave it to the side.
- In a medium-size bowl, crack in two eggs and beat them. Add the zucchini into the egg bowl, along with about 3 tablespoons worth of any type of onion, whether that’s red, green, or even chives. For extra color and flavor, you can add in half a diced red bell pepper.
- In a separate bowl, add in 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Combine dry into the wet until a medium-thick batter forms, adding more flour if necessary.
- Heat up vegetable oil in a skillet, scoop out the pancakes and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Dab with paper towels to remove excess oil and enjoy!

]]>Instead of cutting your zucchini into spears, rounds, or even on a diagonal for gorgeous slices, put your knife away completely. With this technique, you don’t even have to cut up your zucchini! Instead, grill your zucchini whole so you can experience a whole new type of texture and flavor in this summer squash.
Recipe
- Take your zucchinis and brush them lightly with olive oil, you really don’t need much.
- Salt and pepper the zucchini generously and then throw them onto the grill.
- Turn and cook until the zucchini skins are very charred, and then pull them off.
- When you eventually cut into the zucchini, you will see that the insides are super sweet and tender, while the outside gives you that textural difference that you don’t get with any other cooking method.

]]>The post Forget About Noodles, Caprese Zoodles Are the Best appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>
k forward to this spring! : : : #zoodles #capresesalad #capresezoodles #mozzarela #tomatoesIngredients:
The ingredient list for the caprese zoodles you should get 1 large zucchini, 4 medium campari tomatoes, 2 teaspoons olive oil, cup canned chickpeas, 1/4 cup fresh basil, 2 cloves sliced garlic, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, pepper, salt, 2 oz cut fresh mozzarella. Before you start cooking cut the tomatoes into quarters, rinse and drain the chickpeas as well.
Instructions:
The first thing you’ll need to do is get a vegetable spiralizer. Use it to create the zoodles from the zucchini. Pour one teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet and heat it on medium-low temperature. Include the garlic, tomatoes, pepper and salt. Cook them together for 4 minutes. Add the vinegar as well. Cook only for a little bit and put the mixture in a bowl.
Continue working in the same skillet. Add the other teaspoon of olive oil and start cooking the chickpeas and zoodles together for 3 minutes. The caprese zoodles are almost finished. Get the tomatoes, put them together with the rest of the ingredients, and top off with the basil and mozzarella. That is the final step of the recipe. Enjoy!
I made these caprese zoodles for lunch this week. It was a winner! I had the spiraled zucchini, corn and chicken already prepped to go in my fridge, so it only took a few minutes to throw together. I will definitely be editing the caprese salad in our demo guide to include zoodles and corn!

Cook each side for around 3 to 5 minutes. Serve them with your favorite side. Some of the best options are sour cream, mayonnaise, and more.

180g of zucchini or other squash, grated or spiralized and cut into 5cm lengths 
Method . 1. Mix together all fritter ingredients except zucchini to make a “protein batter”. 2. Fold in zucchini and ensure it is well coated in the protein batter. 3. Melt coconut oil in a pan to a medium-high temperature. 4. Using a tablespoon, measure 1 tablespoon into your hands to form 1 fritter – make a ball in your hand, compress between palms to flatten lightly and add to pan. 5. Fry on one side for 2 minutes before flipping to fry on the other side for a further 2 minutes. 6. Serve with scrambled tofu, grilled tomato and a rocket salad for a delicious breakfast or with a hearty soup for a filling dinner

Baked Zucchini Fries
They are slightly out of this world and my husband has requested them no less than three times since I first made them last weekend. Not exaggerating. 
There's a direct link in my stories currently, so go check them out! Now, the question is… will you make fries or chips… or BOTH?? 
Ingredients
1 medium zucchini
⅔ c whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose)
1 large egg
¾ cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
¾ tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and set a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray.
2. Cut zucchini into pieces that are 3 inches long and ¼-inch thick.
3. Prepare breading. Spoon flour into a medium bowl, whisk egg in a second bowl, and combine breadcrumbs, paprika, salt and pepper in a third bowl.
4. Working with several zucchini pieces at a time, dredge the zucchini in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip zucchini in egg, then roll in the bread crumb mixture, covering completely.
5. Transfer the coated zucchini pieces to the rack, in a single layer. Repeat with remaining zucchini pieces, then lightly coat the zucchini with cooking spray.
6. Bake until the zucchini is tender and the breading is browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Though these fries also play nicely with ketchup, a change-up like this may inspire you to swap out your fry toppings, too. Try a buffalo-blue cheese sauce or a creamy curry mayo.
When cutting extra carbs out of your life, pizza might be the hardest thing to say goodbye to, but surprisingly, zucchini can make a fantastic, foldable pizza crust ready to top with all your favorites.

4 cups shredded or spiralized zucchini (roughly 2 large zucchinis)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 egg beaten
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to broil 550° F with a pizza stone or cookie sheet warming inside.
2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with one teaspoon of coarse salt and set aside for 15 minutes, then squeeze out as much excess moisture from the zucchini as you can.
3. Place the zucchini back into the bowl and add the cheese, flour, garlic, oregano, basil, eggs, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix everything together with your hands.
4. Tear off a piece of parchment at least 12″ in diameter. Spread the zucchini mixture into a 10″ circle about 1/4″ thick and pinch up the edges slightly. Transfer the crust on the parchment paper onto the heated pizza stone in the oven. Bake for eight to 10 minutes or until the crust starts to brown. Remove the crust from the oven
5. Top the crust with two to three tablespoons of prepared pizza sauce, 3/4 cup of your favorite toppings, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper and season to taste.
6. Lower the heat to 400° F and place the pizza back in the oven for another eight to 10 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven for the last time, sprinkle with additional parmesan and chopped herbs. Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Don’t be afraid to ditch those carbs! When you see all the yummy foods you can still enjoy just by subbing in zucchini, you’ll be running for the farmer’s market faster than a Tinder date runs through the small talk.
