Zucchini makes a fabulous side dish vegetable, and it's a great addition to soups, stews, pasta sauces, and roasted vegetable medleys. Sweet zucchini bread and cakes are very popular as well. Shredded zucchini keeps the quick bread, cakes, and muffins moist while the flecks of green peel add color and texture. For even more color, you could combine finely shredded carrots with the shredded zucchini.
If you have an abundance of zucchini, consider shredding it and storing one-cup portions in small freezer bags. You can make zucchini bread, cakes, muffins, and cookies any time of the year.
Enjoy these delicious and popular zucchini bread and zucchini cake recipes, including zucchini bread with nuts, easy zucchini cake, zucchini muffins, and more.
