What is the most popular way to cook zucchini?
Grilling and air frying are the most popular methods for summer zucchini — both are fast, require minimal oil, and produce a delicious crispy exterior. For baking, zucchini bread is the all-time fan favorite since it’s a great way to use up large or overripe zucchini that’s past its prime for other recipes.
How do I keep zucchini from getting soggy when cooking?
The key is removing excess moisture before cooking. Salt sliced or shredded zucchini and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then pat very dry with paper towels. This is especially important for fritters, chips, and any recipe where you want a crispy result. For grilling, make sure your grill is fully preheated and don’t move the zucchini too early — let it sear properly on each side.
