Zucchini is the green squash. Like yellow squash, it is not necessary to take the skin off to bake and eat it. Zucchini can be sliced and baked with yellow squash. Baking together brings out the flavors of both. Zucchini is often little firmer than yellow squash. This is why it is often fried in batter. While it is possible to make a gluten free batter, it is messy. Baked is simpler. It may be possible to bake it in the batter, and leave the mess behind. Dice the zucchini first. Grilling, alone or with yellow squash, is another alternative.
