Zucchini has main character energy this week. Whether it’s pretending to be noodles, holding down a skillet dinner, or hiding in chocolate cake like a sneaky little vegetable ninja—it’s doing the absolute most.

So yeah, zucchini. It’s the coworker who volunteers for everything and somehow pulls it off—soups, sides, main courses, even dessert, like it’s no big deal. You can spiral it, slice it, smother it in cheese, or hide it in chocolate and call it a day.
These recipes prove one thing: if your zucchini goes bad in the crisper drawer, that’s on you. 😏
