It is that time of year again–zucchini season! This is probably my favorite squash, but I admit, it can be a little overwhelming as I pull in zucchini after zucchini from the garden. How will I ever use them all?

But luckily, zucchini is versatile. You can grind it up and freeze it. You can pickle it. You can put it in almost any veggie side dish or spaghetti sauce or soup. You can even bake with it.

So in that spirit, here are five dishes that use a lot of zucchini:

Zucchini Muffins–Of course, the classic zucchini treat, which uses 2-3 zucchinis.

Zucchini on Zucchini Ravioli–I made up this recipe last year. It is a very yummy, plus it uses up 5 zucchinis.

Zucchini Garlic Soup–I recently tried this dish from The Kitchn, and I can attest that it is delicious. It uses 4 zucchinis.

Greek Style Zucchini Fritters–I haven’t made this particular recipe, but this is a classic zucchini dish and this recipe makes sense to me. Probably uses about 3 zucchinis.

Zucchini Rolls–This is a tasty-looking appetizer: grilled slices of zucchini stuffed with cheese. How can you go wrong? Uses 3 small zucchinis.

That should make a dent in your harvest.

Wow GMTA! I too had a similar post on my blog on a dinner party using zucchini as the main ingredient to show how versatile it is!
