So somehow I ended up with 2 pounds of zucchini.
They’re just sitting in the fridge, all perfectly green and beautiful… calling me. I don’t know how they got there. It’s totally not because I was completely mesmerized in the grocery store by how perfect the zucchini are this time of year. Definitely not.
Whether you have a bountiful summer garden or poor self control in the produce section, I’ve rounded up my favorite creative healthy uses for zucchini. All of these recipes are either grain free/low carb and vegan or I’ve left a note with the link giving you quick adjustments to make them friendly to all diets. Because I love you. And zucchini. (But you’re still my favorite.)
