Why is zucchini suitable for both sweet and savory baking?

Zucchini is a good ingredient for both sweet and savory baking for several reasons.

First, zucchini has a very mild flavor and stringy texture, which means it lends itself well to a variety of recipes while disrupting the flavor profile of the dish far less than other vegetables.

Another reason is that zucchini is relatively low in sugar and has a high water content, which makes it easy to use in sweet recipes without adding too much sweetness, but adds enough chewiness. On the other hand, in savory recipes, zucchini adds excellent texture and flavor, especially when grilled or roasted.

Finally, zucchini is also a nutritious and healthy ingredient, as it contains many vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins C and K, potassium and magnesium, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a way to improve the nutrition of their dishes.
