1. The classic: zucchini pancakes with dip
Is there anyone who doesn't like zucchini pancakes? The delicious potato pancakes taste wonderful with summer vegetables and are much healthier than the classic potato pancakes. We already have yousome variationsshown for pan, oven and air fryer, but I particularly like the Greek-inspired recipe with feta. Be sure to serve the tzatziki dip with this – this makes the recipe a real treat.

2. Crispy zucchini in batter
Who said Greece? I ate the best zucchini in batter there. And of course I made it myself several times afterwards. A simple trick helps to make the zucchini really crispy: dip the slices briefly in cold water before frying. In combination with the breadcrumbs, this creates a moist layer that becomes very crispy in the hot oil.

For a light summer meal, a salad is the best choice. Zucchini salads can be prepared with raw, fried or grilled zucchini. Here are some delicious ideas to try with the fresh summer vegetables.
10. Raw zucchini salad
Zucchini can also be eaten raw as long as it doesn't taste bitter. Then consumption is not recommended. So always taste the vegetables in advance if you want to make a salad with them. And what else goes in the salad? Definitely a good dressing and then whatever you like. Here you will find a delicious combination with feta and pine nuts, which goes wonderfully with the thinly sliced zucchini and the vinegar-mustard dressing.
