When you say dehydrated do you mean drained on paper towels? Or something else?

Do they come out very crispy? I am imagining a zucchini potato chip. Which I want now.

Dehydrated in a food dehydrator, then fried. They turn into zucchini chips. They are great for dipping into your favorite sauces.

My fav is to slice them up, toss in a bit of oil, herbs, salt and pepper and throw them on the grill or bake in oven until caramelized. Use leftovers in lettuce or spinach salads.

Everything sounds good!


Almrausch, I'm going to try your warm salad next I've got zucchini.


These zucchini spice bars with caramel frosting are good. I've also made a similar cookie but who wants to frost all those cookies?


ZUCCHINI BARS WITH CARAMEL FROSTING Sift together: 3 cups flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon cloves. Cream together: 3/4 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 eggs. Combine both mixtures. Gradually add: 2 cups peeled and grated zucchini, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips or raisins.Pour into greased and floured 10 x 15 inch pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Frost with caramel frosting.


CARAMEL FROSTING:

1/2 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. milk
1 to 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

Melt butter. Add brown sugar. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Add milk. Bring to a second boil. Remove from heat. Add enough powdered sugar to spread.

I love zucchini and summer squash. We usually visit our local stands this time of year. A favorite dish is to slice and sauté them in olive oil, toss with cooked rigatoni, then top with grated cheese and black pepper. The green and yellow looks nice, too.

Another favorite is to saute both in olive oil, serve over angel hair, and with a marinara dressing and Parm cheese.

well, we crockpot porkneckbones and collards for the dogs (ones on a diet and this way he eats his greens)- I can usually add zuchinni to the last few hours of cooking and that gets rid of some, lol....


(and I love slow cooked collards this way too, so its a win win)...

Here's another cake that my family enjoyed aaaa couple of years ago.

2 cups grated zucchini, 1 tsp baking soda
3 large eggs 1 tsp baking powder
1 c canola or other bland oil 1 cup crushed pineapple drained
2 tsp vanilla extract. 2 cups sugar
3 cups all purpose flour. 2 cups pecans chopped
1 tsp salt

Mix eggs, oil, vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder, Add zucchini, Mix well. Add pecans. bake at 340 for 1 1/2 hours.

The recipe calls for a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar. I like a light vanilla icing.

Whipped cream is also good!. Add more fruit in season. Berries work well.

Turn it into "pasta" with a spiralizer.
