Hi I'm Heather, and I'm here to share recipes (and more) for all that backyard garden zucchini.

I started my main website, The Toasty Kitchen, back in 2017. Since then, I've published over 600 easy homemade recipes and have over 9 million visitors a year.

After diving into a new hobby of backyard gardening in 2020, I quickly found that growing zucchini was not only easy, but plentiful!

However, I had a hard time finding a great resource with a variety of recipes for my zucchini bounty (if you've ever grown your own zucchini, you know). That's when I decided to make my own!

Here at Zucchini Zone, you'll find flavorful, from-scratch zucchini recipes that are easy to make in your home kitchen. Everything from dinners to desserts - you'll find it here!

My favorite recipes

I've got too many favorites to list, but here are a few in each category. These are all a must if you've got some extra garden zucchini on hand!

Breads

  • Applesauce zucchini bread - This is my go-to classic zucchini bread recipe. It's moist and tender with just enough sweetness and a hint of cinnamon.
  • Cranberry orange zucchini bread - This is my favorite bread recipe for the holidays. The house smell so good when it's baking and it makes a great breakfast with coffee.

Mains

  • Turkey zucchini meatballs - What a fantastic way to add a few extra veggies to your meal! These meatballs taste great and freeze beautifully. I like to make extra to freeze for quick meals throughout the month.
  • Broccoli cheddar zucchini soup - Serve a hot bowl of creamy broccoli cheddar soup with some crusty bread and I'm a happy camper!

Sides

  • Broiled zucchini - This is my favorite way to make a quick side of zucchini. Using the broiler ensures that your zucchini doesn't overcook and get mushy.
  • Grilled marinated zucchini- There's nothing better than a quick grilled zucchini in the summer. I love to make this recipe along with burgers on the grill.
  • Potato zucchini soup - Simple comfort in a bowl. It's made with just a few ingredients and tastes great on a cold day.

Desserts

  • Lemon zucchini cookies - These are a must try if you love lemon desserts. They're the perfect summer treat!
  • Chocolate zucchini cupcakes - A classic zucchini baking recipe. The chocolate completely masks any hint that there's zucchini inside. All you'll see and taste is a tender, chocolately cupcake.
