If you bought too many zucchini, there are many ways to use what is left over after cooking. Zucchini is not only suitable for hearty vegetable dishes, but also for desserts.
Zucchini: This is how you use the versatile vegetable
If zucchini is left over when cooking, you have many different ways to use the vegetables after all:
- Smoothie: A leftover piece of zucchini is a great ingredient for homemade smoothies. Similar to spinach or avocado, zucchini are comparatively tasteless. However, you provide an extra portion of fiber and make your smoothies more wholesome.
- Vegetable Pancakes: Grate the zucchini with a few potatoes and mix it all with chopped onions, some grated cheese, one or two eggs, and spices. Fry the zucchini pancakes and serve them with herb quark or avocado cream.
- Zoodles: If you have several zucchini leftovers, you can use them to make zucchini noodles. The popular low-carb alternative to conventional pasta made from durum wheat semolina goes just as well with sauces as with pesto. Either use a spiral cutter or use a vegetable peeler to cut the courgettes into thin, ribbon-like strips.
- Cake: Refine your sponge cake with grated zucchini. You can find many different recipes for this on the internet. The zucchini ensures that the finished cake is particularly moist. Since the vegetables do not develop any appreciable taste of their own during baking, you will not even notice the additional ingredient.
- Vegetable chips: Slice the zucchini into wafer-thin slices and toss them in a little salted or otherwise seasoned oil before baking the chips in the oven at around 150 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes until crisp and brown. You can do the same with potatoes, beetroot, or kale.
- Zucchini Boats: Halve the zucchini lengthwise and scoop out with a spoon. Then you can fill the zucchini boats with Bolognese or something else and bake them with cheese.
