Zucchini recipes feature Tuscan flatbread and frittatas

Various culinary preparations highlight the use of zucchini in Italian-inspired dishes, such as Scarpaccia and vegetable frittatas.

Scarpaccia is a rustic Tuscan zucchini flatbread originally created to utilize seasonal garden surpluses. This dish combines sautéed zucchini, onion, and garlic with flour, cornmeal, parmesan, and water, then bakes the mixture until firm and golden.

Alternatively, zucchini can be featured in a frittata alongside bell peppers, onions, and eggs. This method involves sautéing the vegetables in olive oil before incorporating them into a whisked egg and parmesan cheese mixture.
