Because zucchini have more delicate skin, there’s no need to peel them before adding them to a recipe.
You can also transform them into “zoodles,” or zucchini noodles, like in this Zucchini Tomato Basil Salad with Lemon Basil Vinaigrette. Use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to make spaghetti – or lasagna-inspired zucchini noodles.
And I certainly can’t overlook my personal favorite way to enjoy zucchini — in quick breads and muffins, like these Zucchini Apple Spice Muffins! Shredded zucchini adds moisture to any quick bread, but you can’t taste it whatsoever in the final product.

These Zucchini Apple Spice Muffins are perfect for the transition space between summer and fall. You can use up the loads of summer zucchini that are laying around in your garden, the grocery store, or at the farmer’s marker, while savoring the fall spice flavors and a hint of apple.
