I am on phase 2, my husband, mom and i are on the diet.  We do not like very many vegetables and i decided to try zucchini and need some good recipes to try and see if we like it. 


Would appreciate any help!

I love zucchini. I usually just slice it up and roast it in the oven (sprinkled with some olive oil and seasoned salt or rosemary or whatever I happen to have on hand), or if I'm already at the grill (steaks or what not) I'll slice the zucchini in half length-wise, drizzle with some olive oil, sprinkle with spices and throw it on the grill as well. To make the plate "prettier" I like to mix zucchini with yellow summer squash.

Zucchini pancakes are one my favorites. Just grate some zucchini and add a little liquid egg substitute. Pour it onto a griddle like you would for pancakes. I serve them with a little horseradish mixed with sour cream.

We generally sautee it, with olive oil, onions, garlic, herbs and top with Parmesan cheese.
Zucchini is also great grilled - I like to marinade it in Italian dressing and then grill it. We also do stuffed zucchini - we slice it lengthwise, scoop out the middle, sautee it w/ground beef, onions, garlic, spices, then spoon it back into the zucchini "boat", top with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and bake.
