If you grew zucchini this summer like I did, chances are you ended up with a lot of it. Zucchini is one of those garden heroes. Easy to grow, versatile in the kitchen, and delicious in both savory and sweet dishes. After a summer full of fresh garden zucchini, here are a few of my tried-and-true favorite recipes.

1. Zucchini Relish

A tangy, slightly sweet relish that’s perfect on burgers, hot dogs, or even grilled chicken.

  • Grate zucchini, onion, and peppers.
  • Salt and let sit overnight.
  • Drain and cook with vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, and turmeric.
  • Can in jars or store in the fridge.

It’s a crowd favorite at BBQs and a great way to use up a bumper crop.

2. Air Fryer Zucchini

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside — and way healthier than frying.

  • Slice zucchini into rounds or sticks.
  • Dip in egg wash, coat with breadcrumbs and parmesan.
  • Air fry until golden and crunchy.

Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping.

3. Bonus Favorites

  • Zucchini Noodles with Pesto: A lighter twist on pasta night.
  • Zucchini Muffins: Moist, slightly sweet, and kid-approved.
  • Grilled Zucchini: Brushed with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
