A roundup of the best zucchini-filled recipes to celebrate National Zucchini Day! Zucchini is full of fiber, low in calories, and can be used in any type of dish or baked good. You’ll love learning about all its potential!
Zucchini was the star of last month’s Recipe Redux post where I shared my Gluten-Free Vanilla Zucchini Cake (so soft, so fluffy, so good), and it still happens to be in season this month!
In fact, today is one special day in the world of that beautiful green summer squash…it’s NATIONAL ZUCCHINI DAY!
Of course, I have to celebrate since zucchini is one of my all time favorite veggies. Sure it’s not that flavorful on its own, but THAT is what makes it so versatile and PERFECT for using in all sorts of dishes and baked goods.
From sweet to savory, zucchini does it all! Today I’ve rounded up the most unusual recipes using zucchini to celebrate the veggie in all its green glory. There’s no better way to celebrate the holiday in my opinion!

I love using zucchini to bake with and in my morning oatmeal – I call it my Zucchini Bread Oatmeal. It’s the perfect veggie to add to anything since the flavor is so mild. My favorite veggie is probably butternut squash. Great roundup!
That sounds so lovely! Will have to try!
These all look so good and I def will be trying some! Thanks for including me Kaila!
So welcome! Wonderful recipe, lovely!
Jimmy and I had so much zucchini in our garden this year, and we still have some left over! Looks like I need to make a few of these recipes 🙂
Definitely give them a try! There are so many good options here!!

LOVE this post! Zucchini is my favorite food to hide in just about everything!! Thank you for including me! Now to decide where to start!
So welcome! Great recipe!
OHHH yes! So happy about this, because I have so much zucchini. Zucchini makes so many things so moist and delicious. I can’t wait to use these Kaila! <3

I ADORE zucchini, but how did I not know yesterday was national zucchini day!? Good thing I ate some with dinner. These recipes look delish!
These sound great! Our garden is starting to give us a zucchini or more a day now…and these ideas will go far!
I used to hate zucchini in any form that wasn’t super unhealthy zucchini bread. But I’ve slowly branched out to eating it in various savory applications, throwing it in my smoothies, and of course appreciating Zoodles!
There are so many great ways to use it!!
So many great ideas here!
I agree!!
I loveee zucchini so this round up is perfect! One of my favourite ways to use it is in my chocolate baked zoats! Sooooo good and it sneaks a veggie in a sweet breakfast too 😉
Love sneaking zucchini into all sorts of goodies!!
So zucchini all night, all day–that’s the plan, huh? Okay!! I could go for many of these right now, sweet and savory?
Yes! I like the sound of that! An ALL zucchini day!
So many delicious recipes I’m even more bummed we don’t have our garden this year with our always abundance of zucchini! I only have 3 in the kitchen so decisions will have to be made. Thank you for including one of my creations and for linking up with us for Meatless Monday!
Let me know which recipe you try first!!
I adore zucchini and I cannot wait to try these dishes – each one – the sweet and savory- sound so tasty! Thanks so much for this line-up!

My father-in law keeps giving me zucchini (courgettes here in the UK!) from his garden so this couldn’t be more helpful!!! 🙂 Thank you. #brillblogposts

Thanks Michelle!
Perfect timing! So many people are overrun with zucchini at this time of year. If you don’t grow then yourself the farm stands sell them really cheaply. I’m not sure which recipe to try first, they all look so delish!
I know! They ALL look so good!
