Four not-so-traditional ways to use zucchini
Whether you’re chopping them, baking them or making them into pasta –zucchinis are one of the most versatile vegetables. And as the weather warms up, and we opt for some lighter meals, we’ve come up with a list of four not-so-traditional ways to use the zucchini.
Oven Baked Zucchini, Pea and Feta Fritters
Fritters are an all-time favourite. They’re great for breakfast, lunch or dinner and this zucchini, pea and feta recipe is no exception. Combining all the good stuff – vegetables, eggs and feta – and topped with tangy garlic, dill and mint yogurt, we guarantee they’ll become a household staple. Cook them in one batch in under an hour using your NEFF oven’s Bread Baking function and enjoy at home with the family or take as a share plate to your next get together.
Zucchini and halloumi kebabs with lemon and mint hummus
Nothing says warm weather like the refreshing tastes of mint and lemon – and when mixed in hummus and paired with zucchini and halloumi, you’ve got a winning combination. Using NEFF’s grill function, breathe in the scrumptious smells of garlic, mint and oregano marinade as your kebabs cook. Impress your guests by serving on a bed of warm pita bread. This recipe is best enjoyed while sitting outdoors with friends at your next backyard soiree.
Layered vegetable pie
There’s just something homely about a vegetable pie – and this one is packed with goodness with layers of zucchini, sweet potato, eggplant and ricotta. And while a pie may not sound like your typical summer meal, serve with a salad and fresh basil on a balmy night and we promise it won’t disappoint. You’ll need to plan ahead, as this recipe takes just under two hours from preparation to plate with NEFF’s CircoTherm® baking function.

Alternative pizza bases
Did you know zucchinis make a great alternative to traditional pizza bases? Zucchini is a great alternative that can add a burst of flavour to your typical pizza. Slice them in half (or to about 1cm thin), pop on your favourite toppings and bake and you’ve got yourself a delicious, healthy meal that’ll please the masses. This is a great option for your vegetarian friends or people with intolerances, too.
