This zucchini carrot casserole recipe first appeared in the Amish Cook column in the summer of 2010 and was an instant hit with readers. Zucchini is a veritable, versatile vegetable that is a staple in any Amish homemaker’s summer culinary arsenal. You can use zucchinis in breads, jams, casseroles, soups, and stews, so one gets a lot of mileage out of zucchinis. Most Amish cooks have a generous amount of space in their garden devoted to growing zucchini because of this. Our recipe-tester used a red onion in the recipe and it created a colorful casserole that has the consistency almost of corn. So if you you want a colorful, hearty, delicious way to use up some of your summer zucchinis, this is the recipe to try!

This sounds and looks delicious. I love zucchini, my son… not so much. This might just be a way to get him to eat it without gagging. 🙂

I left the “a” off of “Linda” by mistake. Sorry!

This casserole does look tasty and colorful; had never thought of combining
zucchini w/ carrots.
I had to chuckle at Wendy’s comment about her son “gagging” on zucchini.
Mine claims he won’t eat any food spelled with a “q” squash or a “y” yogurt.
Can’t wait to try the brownies w/zucchini and see if he will eat those – it is
chocolate, after all!
I love zucchini too and often just slice them very thin and saute w a bit of
butter or olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
