Hello, dear readers! It's amazing what you can do with zucchini quickly and deliciously. Zucchini dishes are surprisingly varied. Despite the fact that zucchini does not have a distinct taste, recipes with zucchini are very popular.

And we have made a selection of several simple, but delicious zucchini recipes for you, so that you will delight yourself and surprise your loved ones.

1. How to make zucchini pancakes

Now we will look at two dishes, they are very tasty and are not harmful to health. They can also be used by people who watch their figure.

If you are in favor of a low-calorie product and do not like frying, then we advise you to bake the pancakes in the oven.

Zucchini pancakes with cheese

These pancakes cook very quickly and taste amazing. For cooking we will need the following products:

• Zucchini – ½;
• Hard cheese – 40 g;
• Corn flour - 3 tbsp. l.;
• Wheat flour – 3 tbsp;
• Kefir – 50 g;
• Soda – 1 pinch;
• Salt;
• Pepper;
• Vegetable oil;

Cooking method:

1. First, we need to wash the zucchini and divide it into 2 parts (you can set aside the second part and use it for our next recipe).
2. Then put half a zucchini on a coarse grater. If you have an older vegetable, you can peel it.
3. Grate the cheese onto a coarse grater. You can use any cheese you like, but these pancakes taste best with Parmesan.
   You can also not be limited to 40 grams and add as much cheese as you want.
4. Add salt. It is important not to let the zucchini release juice, because the more moisture in the dough, the more flour you will have to add.
5. Lightly mix the mixture, add kefir and stir again. Now you can add 3 tablespoons of corn flour.
6. Add a pinch of soda and do not extinguish it, since we already have an acidic ingredient - kefir.
7. It's time for wheat flour. First add one spoon and mix thoroughly. And if you see that there is juice and the dough is liquid, add another tablespoon of white flour.
8. Our dough is ready and we can start preparing the dish. Grease a frying pan or baking sheet with vegetable oil and be sure to heat it up so that the pancakes do not stick to the container.
9. Spread the dough in a thin layer into small flat cakes. Fry over low heat.

Voila! The dish is ready and can be served for dinner. Zucchini pancakes are delicious both hot and cold.

You can add black pepper, garlic and herbs to this dough - all at your discretion. You can also add flour during the cooking process if the zucchini releases juice.

Perhaps you have a question, why do we need two types of flour? The fact is that corn flour will help us feel the full taste of zucchini, making the pancakes not as soft as wheat flour does.

White flour will help us “glue” all the ingredients together. But it also makes the dough viscous. And when the dish is ready, we will feel one, raw mass.

If you don't have corn flour, you can simply grind the corn grits.

Zucchini fritters with herbs and garlic

The same light dish, but with garlic and without cheese, for lovers of spicy foods. To prepare this dish we take:

• Zucchini – ½;
• Garlic – 1 clove;
• Corn flour – 2 tbsp;
• Wheat flour – 1 tbsp;
• Parsley;
• Soda;
• Lemon acid;
• Salt;

Cooking process:

1. Before we start kneading the dough, we must rinse the zucchini, grate it on a coarse grater, add salt and leave it for 15 minutes so that the juice comes out.
2. After the time has passed, we can begin preparing the dough. And the first step is to add garlic (we put it through a garlic press) and pre-chopped parsley.
3. Take soda on the tip of a teaspoon and add it to the dough. We also take citric acid, but even less than soda, just a little bit.
4. Add corn flour, wheat flour, mix well. Our dough is ready and we can prepare a container for baking or frying them by pouring oil and heating the frying pan.
5. Spread the dough into thin flat cakes and cook over low heat. It is very tasty to serve this dish with sour cream or other sauces of your choice. Bon appetit!

2. Zucchini cake

This cake can also be called dietary. It is easy to prepare and contains a minimum of calories with a maximum of rich taste.

3. Take a frying pan, pour in vegetable oil and heat it thoroughly. It is important that there is not a lot of oil, because zucchini should not be greasy.
4. Pour the flour into a bowl and coat each zucchini slice in the flour. Turn the heat on low and add the zucchini, fry on both sides.
5. You don’t have to wait until the vegetable is completely fried; just brown it slightly. Also, for frying and adding an appetizing taste, we can fry it in batter using eggs.
6. To do this, we need to take several eggs, beat them and after dipping the zucchini in flour, dip it into the egg. Flour can be replaced with breadcrumbs.
7. To make the cake even lighter, we can bake the zucchini and not use any flour at all. Or use oat and wheat bran flour.

9. Place everything back into the frying pan or saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil.
10. Now you can put the resulting puree into sterilized jars and cover them with lids.
11. We place the jars of caviar in a saucepan with water and sterilize the canned food (if the jar is half a liter, then we will need about half an hour).
12. We take out the jars, roll them up with metal lids and wrap them in a blanket. Leave until cool.

To prepare fried zucchini you will need:

• 1 medium zucchini,
• sunflower oil,
• flour, salt and spices.

The zucchini needs to be peeled and cut into rings of medium thickness. Then roll the resulting vegetable rings in flour mixed with salt and spices and fry on both sides in a frying pan in sunflower oil until a golden crust forms.

The finished zucchini can be topped with garlic and sour cream sauce, which will add a special piquancy to the finished dish.

How to bake zucchini in the oven?

Baked zucchini can be called one of the most delicious, low-calorie and easy-to-prepare dishes. We bring to your attention some simple quick recipes.

Zucchini baked with tomatoes

To bake zucchini with tomatoes and cheese you will need:

• 3 medium sized zucchini
• 3 tomatoes
• 100 grams of any cheese,
• 100 grams of mayonnaise,
• 1 head of garlic,
• salt, seasonings to taste.

Zucchini must be thoroughly washed, peeled and cut into rings 5 ​​mm thick. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and place zucchini rings on it at a short distance from each other.

Next, prepare the sauce from mayonnaise, cheese and garlic. To do this, you need to grate the cheese on a coarse grater, finely chop the garlic cloves, and mix it all with mayonnaise. Apply the prepared sauce to each slice of zucchini.

Then place tomato rings on top of the zucchini, soak again in the cheese-garlic sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese. Bake zucchini in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25-35 minutes until an appetizing crust forms.

Zucchini with sour cream sauce

In order to cook zucchini with sour cream sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 small zucchini,
• a few cloves of garlic,

Pre-peeled zucchini should be cut into cubes and placed in a plastic bag. Add salt (to taste), spices, parsley and add a little vegetable oil. Then shake the bag several times to mix all the ingredients together.

Place the resulting mixture on a baking sheet, pour garlic-sour cream sauce on top and sprinkle with finely grated cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 220 degrees, for 40 minutes. The finished dish can be decorated with dill and parsley if desired.

Stuffed zucchini

Meat filling is most often used as a filling for preparing stuffed zucchini. However, zucchini stuffed with vegetables is no less tasty and healthy.

You can prepare dishes from zucchini with minced meat both in the oven and in a regular frying pan. The shape of zucchini for filling with filling is also very varied: you can cut out “boats”, rings, columns from them, or simply stuff whole vegetables.

Before you prepare stuffed zucchini, you need to choose the right fruits for stuffing. It is better to give preference to small-sized young vegetables - they have thin skins, which during heat treatment acquire a delicate taste.

A simple recipe for making zucchini stuffed with meat filling requires the following ingredients:

• 5 small young zucchini,
• 300 grams of minced meat,
• 1 glass of rice,
• onion, carrot and tomato (1 pc.),
• bunch of parsley,
• salt, spices, vegetable oil.

We will prepare the zucchini as follows:

1. Initially, you need to cut the fruit into three parts and boil for several minutes in salted water.
2. Then remove the pulp from the zucchini and cut it into small pieces.
3. To prepare the filling, zucchini pulp, carrots and onions are fried in sunflower oil. Then add boiled rice to this mass and simmer over low heat.
4. After 10 minutes, add minced meat, chopped tomato, spices, a little water and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
5. When the filling is ready, fill whole zucchini with the resulting mixture, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 50 minutes at 190 degrees.

To cook zucchini with minced cheese in the oven you will need:

• 3 zucchini,
• breadcrumbs (4 spoons),
• 100 grams of cheese,
• 4 cloves of garlic,
• sprigs of parsley and dill (for decoration).

The washed zucchini is cut lengthwise into 2 parts and the core is selected - a “boat” shaped form for stuffing is obtained. Then the pulp is mixed with garlic, breadcrumbs and grated cheese (a small part of the cheese should be left for sprinkling).

The resulting mixture should be filled with zucchini boats and sprinkled with cheese on top. Place all this on a baking sheet, previously sprinkled with breadcrumbs, and place in a preheated oven (up to 200 degrees) for exactly an hour.

Cooking zucchini in a slow cooker

Stewed zucchini with vegetables is an ideal dish for cooking in a slow cooker. These vegetables form a particularly successful combination with carrots, onions, bell peppers and garlic.

Stewed zucchini with beans

We wash, but do not clean, the zucchini. Cut them into circles no more than 1 cm thick.

Preheat the oven to 200-220 degrees Celsius.

Place the pieces on a baking sheet that has been greased with oil. You can use parchment paper or foil. Important! The laying is loose, with a small distance between the pieces.

If you like the aroma of garlic, crush a couple of cloves with a press and add just a little of the pulp to the vegetables. And the most convenient flavoring option is garlic salt or dried garlic powder. They are available in large supermarkets on the spice racks.

Now the most crucial moment is to carefully sprinkle with cheese shavings, without going beyond the vegetables. To do this, take the cheese with gentle pinches or use a teaspoon.

Place the zucchini in the preheated oven for 15-10 minutes. Our goal is melted cheese that will change color to golden light brown. We take the beauty out of the oven as soon as the cheese crust reaches the condition. Serve the savory mugs hot.

We plan medium-sized zucchini (up to 20 cm in length) individually - 1-2 pieces. per guest. Everything else is up to taste. We take larger garlic cloves, we will cut them crosswise. For the sauce, vegetable oil and half the amount of lemon juice. Don't forget some dry spices. It could be a mixture of peppers, colored paprika or curry.

Seasonings made from dry herbs are also suitable - Provençal or Italian herbs, the Slavic set of dill and parsley. The main thing is that you like the aroma.

How to cook quickly and tasty.

Following the illustrations, cut the zucchini in half, make cross cuts and place loosely on a baking sheet covered with foil. Cut the garlic into slices.

Beat the butter and lemon juice with a fork until finely suspended. Using a brush, spread the mixture on top of each half of the vegetables. Then crush with spices and add pieces of garlic.

Bake in a preheated oven (200 degrees Celsius) for about 30-40 minutes until the plates soften.

To make the zucchini cook faster, you can wrap them in foil for 15-20 minutes. We check the softness after 15 minutes of baking by pricking the boats with a fork.

The simplest ideas: 10 more dishes, 8 of them dietary

To make our hero a noticeable participant in the meal, use basic but tasty dishes from classical and non-traditional cooking.

Simply fry in a pan for up to 30 minutes

To do this, cut each vegetable into rings or plates. Thickness - about 1 cm, fry in a heated frying pan. You can roll it in flour or breadcrumbs (more calories, but a crispier crust).

Avoiding excessive calories, grease the pan with oil using a piece of gauze or try frying without oil on a non-stick coating. In this dietary method, do not forget to wash off the carbon deposits from the pan after each batch - with a sponge.

The classic is as simple as “twice two”: zucchini, curd mass with garlic, tomato and a generous head of chopped herbs. Bon appetite!

Prepare bean stew in half an hour

We often stew bell peppers, zucchini and add porcini mushrooms sautéed with onions. At the very end, sprinkle with fresh herbs. Sometimes we don’t skimp on carrots and onions or take several types of leading vegetables - regular, zucchini and yellow.

A more high-calorie option with complex carbohydrates is also nice - with beans, peas, corn.

Know-how about beans in a healthy menu!

Preparing beans for future use in the freezer is a lifesaver in our kitchen. In the evening, pour a lot of beans with cold water (2-3 parts water to 1 part beans). Let it boil and keep on fire for 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave it covered (!) until the morning.

The next day, drain the water. Together with it, the product leaves 90% of gas-forming harmful substances. It remains to cook the beans until soft. In a multicooker on the “Baking” mode, this will take 40-50 minutes. On the stove over medium heat in plenty of water - about 1 hour.

Place the finished beans in a colander and let them cool. We put it into bags. We form in portions according to the average quantity for frequent recipes in the family menu. We send the portioned packaging to be frozen in superfrost mode. This way, at one time, we get many servings of beans for stews, sautés and soups. What's remarkable is as harmless to digestion as possible, even for baby food.

Diversify your steamed vegetables in 10 minutes

Serve with a variety of sauces.

1. Light mayonnaise and dill. Or the ideal vitamin option is to sprinkle the dish with finely chopped herbs (2-3 types), nut crumbs and season with olive oil.
2. Another non-trivial sauce for those who care about their health and figure. Add garlic gruel, a handful of your favorite seeds and unexpected herbs (fresh rosemary, sage, wild garlic) to natural yogurt.

In our opinion, the recipe tastes best with carrots. You need to grind it into thin strips. A Berner grater or a sharp knife will help.

We need:

• Young zucchini - 2 pcs.
• Garlic - 1-2 cloves
