I love to use zucchini in stir-fry meals, too.

Deep Fried Veggies

Batter:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Coating:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 tsp salt

Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees. Combine batter ingredients. In separate bowl, combine coating ingredients. Dip sliced veggies in batter then into coating mixture. Let veggies sit for about 5 minutes, then fry for about 5 minutes until crisp.

*Don't overcrowd fryer, and make sure the oil is hot enough to cook zucchini quickly so it won't get mushy.

This is great, too.
Baked Zucchini

1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbs grated Parmesan cheese
2 egg whites
Thinly sliced zucchini

Combine bread crumbs, pepper and cheese. In separate bowl, lightly mix egg whites. Dip zucchini slices into egg whites, then coat in bread crumb mixture. Place on sprayed or greased baking sheet. Bake at 475 degrees for 5 to 6 minutes, turn and bake 5 to 6 minutes until brown and crisp.

Got this recipe from an old church cookbook:  Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Beat 4 eggs and 3/4 c. salad oil 2 minutes.  Add 2 c. sugar, 2 c. flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 4 T. cocoa powder all at once.  Mix well (by hand, please!!)  Stir in 1 tsp. vanilla, 3 c. grated zucchini, and 1/2 c. pecans.  Pour into 9 x 13 greased pan.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. 

Mix 3 oz. cream cheese, 1/2 c. softened butter, 2 1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar, 2 T. cocoa, and 1 t. vanilla.  Spread on cooled cake.

Hope this gives you some help with your bountiful crop of zucchini!!

o yummy!  i wonder, would it work without the cocoa powder?  my dad is very anti-chocolate...

Hi,dschimpf, I love zucchini. I have been trying to find a recipe to make pineapple from zucchini, i remember that it called for a lot of shreded zucchini, crushed pineapple, pineapple juice + other things, I was told it tasted just like pineapple.  I like to make what I call zucchini boats. You start with a large zucchini, cut it long ways, remove the seeds,put it on a cookie sheet, cut side down, with a little water and bake about 30 moin. or uhtill it's almost done. While it's baking crumble 1 lb. hambuger/ground beef into a skellet and cook untill done, drain grease then add enough spagetti sauce to make it saucey. Then turn zucchini over and fill with the hambuger mixture and bake about 20 min. more, untill the zucchini is tender, then top with shreded mazzerila cheese and return to oven to melt. We love this. I also like to cut up a small zucchini , add stewed tomatoes and simmer untill the zucchini is done, then add a little mazzarela cheese chunks and seasoned bread cubes. I also put it in salt water like cucumbers. then theres breaded and deep fried or lust fried like green tomatoes, O' what great ways to use it. I was just at another web site that had some great recipes. I'll post that tomorrow. Good Luck, Granna2

AlabamaCooker ...Thanks sooo much but.......the red x is a photo of the Zucchini Bread I baked from the recipe

just wanted to share

I put chunks of zucchini in everything from meat loaf to spegetti, even sloppy joes. We had a zuccini overload last year.

You can also use zucchini in place of cucumbers when making relish, i have eaten it and couldn't tell any difference in the taste, it did seem to be a little softer.granna2
