I have the recipes in a file on my computer. I just saved them to a clipboard and pasted them into this forum. No typing, just used my little mouse.

 

You might need to adjust the recipes for under 4,000 ft. altitudes. These work well in higher elevations.

Low-Cal, Fat-Free Zucchini Chips

 

yellow or green summer squash

cooking spray (Pam)

spices of your choice

 

Slice Zucchini or Crookneck squash into 1/4 " slices, place on dehydrator trays. Lightly spray with cooking spray then top with favorite herbs and spices, dehydrate until crispy. Usually 12 hours. We snack on these as a replacement for potato chips and also as salad croutons. Some of our favorite spice combinations are:

garlic & onion

garlic, cumin & chili powder

basil & garlic

Mrs. Dash chipotle

 

I think these run about 20 calories for 1/2 cup serving.

Zuccini Bread and Pumpkin Seed Butter - Recipes

Adapted from The Classic Zucchini Cookbook, by Nancy C. Ralston, Marynor Jordan, and Andrea Chesman (Storey Books, 2002).

Many gardeners turn to quick breads when they are overwhelmed by an abundance of zucchini.


Simple Solution:

The virtues of zucchini bread are many: It can be made with freshly grated zucchini or frozen and defrosted (and drained) zucchini, it is quick to make, extra loaves can be frozen and enjoyed later, and, most important of all, it is delicious.

Pumpkin seed butter is delicious on zucchini bread, and you can find this recipe below.

INGREDIENTS
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canoloa oil
2 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups grated zucchini
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon black walnut extract (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grase two 4- by 8-inch loaf pans.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

3. Combine the oil and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat unitl light.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the zucchini, vanilla, and black walnut extract, if using. Add the dry ingredients and stir just long enough to combine. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans.

4. Bake the loaves for about 1 hour, or until a tester inserted in the centers comes out clean.

5. On wire racks, cool the breads in the pans for 10 minutes. Invert onto the wire racks and cool completely.

Makes 2 loaves.

PUMPKIN SEED BUTTER
Combine 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds*, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 3 cloves of garlic in a blender or food processor and process until combined. Add 1/3 cup softened butter, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Process to mix. Store in the refrigerator, but serve at room temperature.


*TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS

3/4 Tbsp. peanut oil
3/4 Tbsp. melted butter
1 c. pumpkin seeds

Wipe fibers from pumpkin seeds but do not wash them. Coat seeds with mixture of oil and butter..
Spread seeds on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt to taste and toast in a slow oven (350 degrees) for 30 minutes or until they are crisp and golden.

We love panko-style fried zuchini...I'm printing this out thinking this will be a great appetizer also! Thanks!

Here is my DH's & MIL's favorite way to have Zucchini.

 

Calabacitas

 

3 med sliced zucchini (Slices can be quartered if desired.)

2 slices onion, diced

1/2 cup tomato, diced

1 cup corn

2 Tbs tomato bullion

1 cup shredded cheddar or longhorn cheese

 

Saute onion until opaque in oil or butter, stir in tomato and remove from heat. Add corn, bullion and layer zucchini on top. Add enough water to cover and return to medium heat. Cook covered until squash is tender. Remove from heat, add cheese on top and cover until ready to serve.

 

 

~~~~~~

All ingredients can be increased or decreased, depending on your taste. DH likes extra cheese and liquid, MIL likes it dryer and likes the tomato sautéed longer.
