I slice zucchini and drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil and season to taste then lay them directly on the grill. They are delicious that way. I also bring 2 cups of raw spinach with me in the mornings to work with a drizzle of EVOO on top and sea salt then I microwave at lunch and add it to my soup. It's really good.

I make zuchiniin pancakes.
Peel the zuchinni and grade it with a cheese grader, etc. Mix with an egg white and desired spices. Then spray the skillet and cook them! these are great at dinner with a little sea salt and your meat. it makes me feel like I am eating a carb - like a roll or something and I feel full!

Also, I make zuchinni salad-- peel zuchinni then use the peeler to make long thin noodle like pieces. refridgerate (its best cold) and add a low sodium soy sauce! Its a great raw zuchinni salad that almost feels like you are eating at an asian restaurant!

also you can "rice" cauliflower buy cooking it then using your processor -- this give you a feeling of rice and you can stir fry or pour your soup over as a gravy with, etc...

WOW, so glad I read this thread. I love zucchini and eat it daily but it's getting a bit old. I love the zucchini pancake idea. I'll try the soy sauce too.

Thanks!

zuchinni pancakes- i am kindof boring - i usually just use sea salt and maybe a little garlic. I've had onions in them before which tastes good but i am not an onion fan.
So i dont have fancy spices --But i had them at lunch at thought i bet these would be good flavored - or green onions cut up in it...or maybe even a mixture of zuchinni and cauliflower... Let me know what ideas yall have!

you can also slice zuchinni and squash really thin with a mandoline and put fresh lemon juice and olive oil and cut up mint on it in the fridge for a few hours for a cold refreshing summer salad (the non IP version includes pinenuts and parmeson grated on top)
