Over sized zucchini - Page 2

While it does not use up a ton of zucchini, Barbara Kingslover has a recipe for zucchini chocolate chip cookies. They are yummy!

A number of mamas have suggested freezing shredded zucchini for later use in baked goods or frittatas or whatever - but how, exactly, does this work? Can one just shred, then throw into a large ziplock freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, then pop in the freezer? And when you go to use the shreds, do you drain first?

Also, what's the best way to wrap zucchini bread for freezing? I've never tried freezing baked goods before (as odd as that sounds!)

DH and DS walked into the house last night with two more baseball bat sized specimens that had grown right up inside our tomato cages and were utterly camouflaged in among the leaves - and I already have about 4 zucchini in the fridge, and we leave for vacation in 3 days. Help!

TIA!

I turned one into noodles last night and DH loved it. (I thought it was good, but I wouldn't say I loved it.)

First, peeled then sliced into thin noodle-like strips. (I've since read online that you can do this with a veggie peeler.)

Then, I blanched it for about 2-3 minutes and drained.

Then, toasted pine nuts in a big pan, added EVOO, added zucchini back in.

Stirred in a spoonful of jarred pesto, grated some parmesan on top.
