For fellow food gardeners out there, I’m sure there’s a very high chance that you are currently being inundated with zucchinis! In our garden, we’re getting a new zuke every couple of days and we simply can’t keep up and that’s including gifting them to neighbours and friends already.

I’ve been looking for interesting new ways to use zucchini and today I’m sharing a recipe that’s highly efficient in using up zucchinis. Plus, no deep frying is involved, it only uses a handful of ingredients AND is so easy to make at home!
