Notes

How to shred zucchini?

You'll want to select and buy zucchini that is small and tender. They will have fewer seeds and less moisture than larger zucchini. They are also easier to shred, as you can simply feed them into your food processor without having to cut them into smaller strips.
Trim the ends from the zucchini and wash them. Then, fit your food processor with the shred wheel and cover with the lid. Feed the zucchini through the tube in the top of the food processor. It took me less than 5 minutes to shred the 3 cups of zucchini that are needed for this recipe. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a box grater to do the job.
