Did you know August 8 is national Sneak Some Zucchini on to Your Neighbor’s Porch Day? This zucchini holiday was started by a gardener who noticed how zucchini takes over the garden this time of year! I like to celebrate this special zucchini day by updating my post with 50 Amazing Zucchini Recipes, and there are now more than fifty great low-carb recipes there for zucchini.
But I also like to keep track of which zucchini recipes are the very most popular out of more than 100 that I’ve posted on Kalyn’s Kitchen. Below are the top ten winners out of all the Low-Carb Zucchini Recipes on my blog. I’m also including links to ten more popular recipes and giving a shout-out to some of my personal favorite zucchini recipes too! I hope you enjoy cooking with zucchini!
How do I pick the Top Ten Low-Carb Zucchini Recipes?
I calculate the winners by checking recipe stats from the beginning of June the year before and going through the current date this year. There are some perennial winners, but this year some of the low-carb zucchini recipes that made the list were a real surprise, plus a few of my own personal favorites didn’t make the cut.
What’s your favorite Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe?
I’d love to know which of these is your personal favorite! Or maybe you’ll find a new idea in this collection of popular zucchini recipes that you haven’t tried yet!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #10
The number ten recipe is this Cheesy Zucchini Sausage Sheet Pan Meal. This is perfect for a back-to-school dinner if you’re still getting zucchini by then.
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #9
Number nine is Zucchini Strata (with Basil and Cheese), and this is a recipe that I love to make on the weekends and reheat for breakfast for a few days! And if you have some fresh basil in the garden, this recipe is a perfect way to use it.
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #8
Number eight is Meat, Tomato, and Mozzarella Stuffed Zucchini Cups, and I think this has made it on the list nearly every year despite the messy plating in the very old photo! These are absolutely delicious, and this is another way to use those too-big zucchinis that pop up every so often.
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #7
Number seven is Parmesan Crusted Zucchini, and this such a tasty idea for zucchini that’s cooked completely under the broiler!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #6
Number six is this amazing Grilled Zucchini Greek Salad, a recipe that has gotten more and more popular since I updated the photos. This has all the flavors of Greek Salad but uses grilled zucchini instead of cucumbers!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #5
At number five is this Zucchini Feta Bake with Thyme that I’ve made pretty much every year since I first posted the recipe! And I think this has made the top ten list pretty much every year!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #4
Recipe number four is this recipe for the Easy Grilled Vegetables, with zucchini taking a starring role. I make this over and over all summer long!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #3
Recipe number three is Summer Squash with Pesto and Parmesan which is an absolutely spectacular way to cook zucchini and yellow summer squash! If you haven’t tried this, you should!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #2
Number two on the list is this hugely popular post about How to Grill Zucchini. I use this way of cooking zucchini all summer long, and only stop making it when my deck is covered with snow!
Low-Carb Zucchini Recipe #1
And (once again!) the big winner in our countdown of Low-Carb Zucchini Recipes is Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake with millions of views on the blog and millions of pins. And it’s not hard to tell why this is popular, because doesn’t everyone love recipes that are easy + cheesy?

How about some recipes without cheese?
Many people are lactose intolerant.
Truth is courgettes are pretty boring on their own,.
There is a whole category on this site for Dairy-Free recipes. I can’t leave a link here, but it should come up if you use the category index, Unfortunately no dairy-free recipes made the top ten list. Not much I can do about that.
OK, so either grilled or baked with cheese. (Tomatoes optional)
Got it.
That seems to be what people like.
Just tried your Cheesy Zucchini Bake today, April 29,2018. It was amazing!!!!! Even my husband commented it was the BEST casserole he’s ever had. Thanks. I will be trying more recipes. I am interested in the Low-carbs.
Hi Ruth, so glad it was a hit! Hope you enjoy more of my recipes!

Thanks Janice; I sure hope you get zucchini! I could use a zucchini donation myself this year!
